Bokeh

OpenDefocus has an extensive bokeh creation tool built in. This allows you to easily create realistic looking bokeh shapes.

Bokeh interface


Shape type

There are three shape types:

  1. Simple
  2. Disc
  3. Bladed
  4. Image

Simple

This does not render anything, for a bit extra performance. It calculates the radius on the fly.

Disc

This shape does not have any edges and is perfectly circular

Disc

Bladed

This shape allows you to set x number of corners, and adjust its curvature accordingly.

Blade

Image

Use your own kernel and bypass the bokeh creation tool.

Warning

Crop your filter! If you use this functionality, make sure to crop the bokeh properly. To not waste any unused pixels. As OpenDefocus uses the bounding box to determine the sampling area.
