F-Stop in Inventor?

One of the new options in Inventor2009 is the addition of depth of field settings in the Studio environment.




From the Inventor New Features Workshop:


Camera depth of field has been added. It helps when compositing images and photos. It also adds more of a photographic element to the realistic renders you generate. With the depth of field controls you can:


  • Use focus limits and specify the near and far positions of focus planes.
  • Use the f-Stop option and specify the stop value and focus plane position.
  • Link the focus plane to the camera target.
  • Use the linked focus plane option in conjunction with an animated camera target to get a moving focus effect.
