iDof is a depth of field plugin for Lightwave 3D. It is intended to provide intuitive but powerful tools to achieve the effect you want, whatever that is.

The new iDof workflow is intended for Lightwave and a Compositing or Photo-editing Application. This is not necessary though, since an iDof Post Blur for Lightwave is included.

When you use iDof, you are using 2 Image Filter plugins, to be added in the Image Processing Tab of Lightwave’s interface. One generates a better depth matte for depth of field than LW’s default depth buffer. The other is optional, and provides a post processing blur based on the depth matte generated by the first plugin.

Limitations:
The downloadable is a 10-day trial.

What's New:
iDof Channels Changes:

iDof Post Blur Changes:
Variable blur from Greyscale matte rather than just crossfaded blur
Now tied to user's dongle.

Requirements:
Lightwave 3D 7.5d, 8.x, or 9.
