Depth Of Field/motion Blur Issue

[Cyten]

I like this feature but the problem is that your weapon when aiming is blurry and that's never a good thing. Can you leave the effect as it is but just remove the blurryness of the weapon while aiming?

Well in this case I have to stand by the realism...

Try this:

1) Point your finger at something as if you were pointing a gun

2) Focus your eyes at the target

3) Is your finger sharp or blurry?

That's how eyes work.

Also why is the blury gun a bad thing? The point of depth of field is that something is in focus and everything else is out of focus.

The point is that you then can never see your gun up close in a non-blurry state.

Why would you want that? If you'd seen your weapon non-blurry, it would mean the target would be blurry because the DOF is very shallow on near distances.

I'm not trying to be a smartass... Just wondering why would you want the see the weapon sharp and have DOF at the same time since those are exactly the opposite things. The point of DOF in practice is exactly to hide stuff that's not in focus.
