Vert. Focal Loss Specifies the amount of blur applied to the image in the vertical (Y-axis) direction. Values range from 0 to 100% focal loss. This parameter can be animated. Focal Range Specifies how far away from the center of the image (Radial Blur) or from the camera (Focal Object) the blur effect begins. Increasing values move the radius of the effect farther away from the camera or the center of the image. This parameter can be animated. Focal Limit Specifies the distance from the center of the image (Radial Blur) or the distance from the camera (Focal Object) at which the blur effect is at full strength. Setting a high Focal Limit with a low Focal Range, produces a gradual increase in the amount of blur in the scene, while setting Focal Limit and Range close together produces a rapid blur effect over a short distance. This parameter can be animated. NOTE Do not set Focal Range and Focal Limit to the same value. This produces an abrupt change from a blur to a sharp focus, producing an undesirable visual effect. WARNING When you animate Lens Effects parameters, this creates pointers into the actual scene, so Lens Effects animation is lost if you save the Video Post queue in a VPX file on page 8165. To preserve the animation, save the Video Post data, including Lens Effects animation, in the MAX file. Button group Reset Resets Lens Effects Flare to its default settings. Load Displays a Windows-standard file open dialog from which you can select the settings file you want to load.

Lens Effects Glow Filter Video Post toolbar > Add Image Filter Event > Choose Lens Effects Glow from Filter Plug-In list. > Setup The Lens Effects Glow dialog lets you add a glowing aura around any assigned object. For example, for an exploding particle system, adding a glow to the particles makes them seem as though they are brighter and hotter. Lens Effects Filters | 6875
