Title: [SOLVED] Set focus in VFB question
Post by: romullus on 2019-10-07, 21:04:03

When i set camera focus in VFB, where does Corona stores information about it? Is it possible to get exact focus distance? Is focus point linked to active camera or to the surface of an object? If i move the camera, will focus point move with camera, or will it stay in place?

It's stored in the Camera target distance which is used for DOF if you have not enabled "Override focus". The value is static (unless you animate it), so no smart linking happens (unlike using an override object in "DOF&Motion Blur" where the pivot point is used as target point/distance as you know).


Good Luck

Oh crap, i didn't notice that it actually changes camera target distance. Silly me. Thank you for your help and sorry for disturbance.
