Multipass Jitter patterns

[robcat2075]

I was curious about how A:M shifted the camera for the Multipass DOF effect. This is the image of a very bright, very tiny dot far behind the DOF range of the camera with various pass number settings.

 

 

I would think that cluster near the center of the higher pass versions would not be ideal.

 

 

The low number passes seem to be the same every time, but the higher ones change a bit with every restart of A:M

At best guess ... I'm sure this would take a lot of knowledge of the inner workings of the code to figure out. There are probably complexities in the random number generator(s), which effect(s) use them and how often, how many of them there are, and how they are initialized.

This is an old topic but it appears related to the issue Robert discovered with Multipass.

 

Thought I'd bump it up just in case it is related.
