Re: [Nuke-users] Zdefocus not 100% sharp
There is the blurred inside knob which blurres the sharp area too to make the transition smoother to the blurred/defocused areas ... I think it defaults to be switched on.

Re: [Nuke-users] Zdefocus
ZDefocus's focal point is not animatable, but the focal plane is, which can achieve the same result (the focal point is just used to control where in the viewer to sample the depth to populate the focal plane knob). If you're trying to expression link the focal point to a tracker (for example), you can do this by using an expression like this in the focal plane knob: [sample this depth.Z Tracker1.tracks.1.track_x Tracker1.tracks.1.track_y] This samples the depth.Z channel at the location of Tracker1's track 1. I hope that helps! Sam On 12/09/2014 20:49, Danimator wrote: Does anyone have info on how to do a follow focus with ZDefocus?

Re: [Nuke-users] Zdefocus
You can still ctrl+drag say a translate knob from a transform node into the focal point knob. It'll link it with an expression and you could put your expression or animation in the translate knob.

RE: [Nuke-users] ZDefocus buggy?
We just had similar issue, with artifacts in random frames using ZDefocus. Very hard to debug. In our case the artifacts were triggered by large depth differences and appeared in same place. Reducing depth difference in these places removed artifacts completely. Hope it helps.
