Hi
Seems that the focus target in cinemachine is not working with HDRP depth of field n 2019.
In previous version of cinemachine (and HDRP), prior to the volume update, it was possible to use a focus target to set the DOF of distance. Whilst the distance reads the target and is set in the extension, it does not seem to update the actual DOF.
Can you set up a small sample project that shows this and send it to me? It might be the way you’re using it, because the DOF works for me.
Sent a file via conversation - Just realised I can upload here too!
Since this is 2019.1 and likewise the newest cinemachine, you may have to re-apply the DOF extension on the virtual camera.
I would expect that the sphere should be the focus (i.e. not blurred) and when I move the sphere it should change the DOF
This setup, used to work in the old way of creating targets with post process (V2) and older HDRP (5.7)
Using unity 2019.1.5f1
Cinemachine 2.3.4
HDRP 5.16.1
PostProcessing 2.1.7
4673480–439901–DOF_Test.unitypackage (6.17 KB)
Did you figure this out? Also trying to work in the Cinemachine DOF along with HDRP
Which versions? This is moving very fast and only the very latest will work.
Am also interested in this thread as I am trying to change the DOF on each shot. Seems the only way to show DOF is to have “Global” turned on.
NOTE: I can change DOF on the Main camera via script only… I thought it was possible to achieve DOF change on each camera shot by placing a separate PP on each vcam.
If this is possible please enlighten me as I’m trying but to date nothing…
It is indeed possible to have separate DOF settings on each vcam. Add a CinemachineVolumeSettings extension to the vcam, create a profile for it and set the DOF override there. It will be blended into your global settings whenever the vcam is active.
Hi & I really appreciate your reply… as this is driving me nuts.
I have One Main Cam + 2 Vcams.
The only way I can show a post process effect is to turn on Global on a camera which overrides all other cameras.
If I turn Global off I get nothing.
I’m testing with a high color grade so I can see a harsh change.
WhenI hit play I do see the Main camera change to each Vcam position.
What do you mean turn on global?
Are you using a CM VolumeSettings extension on the vcam with a profile?
Can you show me the relevant inspectors?
Hi,
Every vCam’s PP Volume script has a " Is Global " tick box.
Each has a Profile with an effect added.
I’m running Unity2019.1.5f & pulled in CM + PP via content manager.
Can you paste images of the relevant inspectors here please?
Thank you. Can you please also show the main camera inspector, with the brain and the PostProcessingLayer?
ok good, you have a PostProcess layer on the main camera.
On the vcam you have a PostProcessing volume. Delete that, and replace it with a CinemachinePostProcessing extension, which you’ll find in the Extensions dropdown of the vcam. Connect your profile there.
What the extension does, under the hood, is create a dynamic global profile, with the weight managed so that the profile’s weight mimics the vcam’s weight.
ok… making adjustments & testing out now…
OK ALL GOOD… 
WOW … what a mad mission that was… I spent days trying so many different setups (aka using Signals and Receivers ) learnt a lot though…
TIP: If you plan to use a Vignette to test a PP effect… make sure to turn up the “intensity”
I had it turned off and was getting nothing in each shot… thinking something else was wrong.
thanks heaps Greg.
Any other tips for all to benefit … keep em coming.
Hello guys! I am having a similar issue but even following the solutions that worked out for @Banksy I still haven’t got it figured out.
I am trying to apply post processing effects on the virtual cameras using the HDRP but they don’t seem to work.
The only thing I can apply is post process volumes do each virtual camera, but I wish I could use the CinemachinePostProcess component.
