Shadows in OpenGl preview and camera focus

nickalaman

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to realtime shadows in the preview window, like we have in poser. There's an option to render shadows in open gl, but i'm nore intrested in seeing them live, so whem i adjust a light i can see how the show behaves in realtime.

part 2 of my question is there an easy way to focus the camera when turning DOF on. Currently, i switch to preview select my main camera and play with the focal distance untill the dot hit's  the part that i'd like to have in focus. This really is quite a but of work, if i'm constalty moving the camera looking for a better angle. Can you set an autofucs on the right eye for example, that would really help. Or even better would be the way ocatne deals with it. Just touch your mouse on the part that you'd like to be in focus... That would be a nice plugin for someone to develop.

 

Thanks,

As far as I can tell the only way to do the OpenGL stuff...update the included OpenGL shaders to something a bit more modern...and no, I have no idea where they are buried, to be able to swap them out.
