Creating Lens Blur with Gaussian Blur
Now we will create a lens blur effect similar to what we did in Chapter 5. In Chapter 5, we used a depth
pass rendered from ZBrush to calculate accurate lens blur using the Lens Blur Photoshop filter. While this
is a highly accurate and effective way of creating atmospheric perspective and depth of field, we will now
look at a fast way to mimic the same effect. In this lesson, we will use the Gaussian blur filter to selectively
