Flame Flame Questions

really nice! question: is there any way to dial some variance into the animated kernel?

@TimC, what do you have in mind?

24

Well, hereā€™s a little something Iā€™ve been working on for a bitā€¦ not quite done, but pretty close: Depth based dof, as a flame ofx. Iā€™m gonna need beta testers soon for this (and if youā€™re interested in testing other stuff, please let me know - that 2d bokeh is ready to be beta tested on flame too.)

I canā€™t wait to play with this, especially trying it with footage depth maps. Looks really nice..

@Maurypb - Iā€™d love to test it! It will only be local on two development machines, one macOS and one Linux. Iā€™ll DM you my details. Thanks a lot.

@greg, Iā€™ll send you a DM with the download link, and instructions. Once you have it installed, let me know, and Iā€™ll upgrade it.
