Thx Ben. The thing is the distance between node output is almost twice the distance reported by the viewport. If I use the value of the Distance Between node, the focus is farther than the expected. I am right now dividing the result by 2 and I think I am getting there and getting the focus plane where I want.
I am trying to figure out the logic on this and the only thing that comes up to my mind is that maybe the focus distance is splitted in two. One half is from camera to object and the other is from object to camera. Don't know if I explained myself or is there some logic into this. 2013/3/29 Ben Davis <benjamincliffordda...@gmail.com> > It looks like "Distance to Output Camera" from the viewport options is > spitting out the info from a plane in front of the camera based on the > distance from the null if it were in the center of your camera's view.
