How To Create A Blurry Background In SFM

A blurry background is a pretty cool effect for SFM posters, today I will explain you how you can create a blurry background, or improve it.

Intro

Hello everybody, my name is Landeyx and today I bring you yet another SFM guide.
Today I will explain how you can create a blurry background, and refine it.
In the end, your posters will look somewhat like this:

How To

Tip: do this after you've posed your camera and model.

Step 1: With your model spawned and a camera ready, right click your animation set editor and click "create animation set for existing elements"


Step 2: Click on camera (x) in the window which appears.

Step 3: Whilst in the motion set editor, click the camera and move your focal distance slider in the animation set editor until the purple square thing is clipping in your model.

Step 4: Slide the aperture meter all the way to the right.


Step 5: Make your render settings depth of field 1024 override and turn motion blur off.

Step 6: Export your poster and enjoy the result!

@TrashPay2Play #gamelage.tf There is a way to do it, just adjust the focalDistance so it's behind the model and not on them.

Is there any way to invert the blur making the character blurry and the background clear?
