Render Comes Out Blurry

I've created a very simple scene with a simple table in it and rendered it out as Medium quality PNG on Windows 10.  The render took 16 minutes and ended up looking like this- very similar to the low quality.

Any suggestions?

Hi Michael!  As mentioned below there are a few issues here:

1.  The table has what are called some bad normals.  Normals tell the program which direction the surface is facing and that's what causes the weird blackish gradient on the surface.  There's no way to fix this in Dimension at the moment, these are issues with the model itself and needs to be fixed before importing.

2.  You have Camera Depth of Field turned on.  DoF adds blur to images in the fore/back-ground of a focus point.  To change this go back to Design Mode, select the Environment in the scene panel, then look in the properties panel for the Depth of Field options.  You can turn this off or adjust the settings to focus an object.

Be sure to turn on the Render Preview (top right of the canvas has controls for this).  Depth of Field can't be previewed in the canvas, so it's important to look at Render Preview for lighting, reflections, and other effects before rendering.

I've had similar problems with blurry projects, and the colour looks different.

Unfortunately I’ve experienced the same issue as described above and I still didn’t manage to get the render sharp. The advice above didn’t do the trick for me.

 

Good to know, I’m quite a newbe in this area. I’m still learning a lot about Dimension, but I can’t concur this in my own haha.

 

I’ve included a PNG export, where you can see the blurry image I created. I’ve already tried some different options in the Camera - focus and field of view but I need some help by managing this problem.

 

You can find the DN file in the link below:

I had the same problem, and for me it turned out to be the pixel and canvas size resolution. Seems that it is more important for it to be set high in DN, than it is in other programs.

yes and no

1st the size limits have changed over the years so be careful going back to old threads saying this is the cause

 

2nd the shape is offen more important than the overall size, for example place a square decal onto a spear object and you get distortion around the edges no mater what size your canvas\ model is... that is why its so important to share a Dn when ever you can because there is more than one way to get these blur issue

Hi guys,

I`m trying to render a very simple round bottle with a label attached to it and all the renders come blurry as well.

What is happening here since I`ve seen so many nice renders in a behance gallery?

Thanks,
Pablo

Did you try the above suggestion regarding turning off Depth of Field or changing the "blur" amount in that feature?  Your render definitely has Depth of Field turned on.

Where's the msytery Depth of Field feature located?

Hello, I ran into same issues, but I just increased the width and height of the environment maintaining the aspect ratio and it worked

@jeanettemathews It is 2018 and I am running into the same problem, maybe the software needs to be redone and it's not the users.  JS

Hello!  Not sure what you mean by "not the users".  As mentioned above, there is a known usability issue where Depth of Field can't be previewed in the canvas.  We are working on this, but haven't made an update, so it's still an issue yes.  I don't think we've said it wasn't, or that users were making a mistake, so sorry if that was implied!

Did you try the answer above to turn off Depth of Field or open render preview and reconfigure the options?

Please share a screenshot.  It's difficult to know what a problem is from this.

Dimension comes with V-Ray built in.  Please see the post above for instructions on changing Depth of Field which is likely causing the blurry render.

Do you have "depth of field" turned on by chance?

It looks like you have turned on camera depth of field, and you haven't focused the camera. You need to change the focus distance somehow. Your table model also seems to have bad smoothing normals, because you have some strange shading going on along the edges from what I can see in the viewport, but this would probably have something to do with modeling and export from a different software.
