Best Practices for Setting Up Depth Range

[Izzy]

Just getting started and not too sure how the depth range will impact the quality of my captures.

How narrow should I actually be setting my depth range?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Hi Izzy! Are you wondering how to position your subjects to achieve maximum quality in your captures?

Hey Izzy! You can think of the depth range as the way to define spatial resolution. In Depthkit, depth data is represented as hue encoded ranges and the more range you have in a certain clip, the greater your spatial resolution and overall quality will be. I usually keep my far plane in the dark blue-pink range and the near plane at dark orange-red. Check out this example below.
