I like the picture. But what about getting rid of that grainy look at the
upper edge of the yellow pole? I know it's a focal blur issue. Will
increasing the amount of samples deal with the problem?

Hey, don't just look at the pictures, read the text as well :-)
He was just asking questions about that!

Decrease variance and increase confidence.
The number of samples you supply is the *maximum* number POV-Ray will
shoot. However, to speed things up, it employs some statistics.
Confidence shows how 'confident' POV-Ray should be that the result is
smooth before it stops shooting rays, and is a value from 0 to 1
representing 0% to 100%. Variance shows how little the next samples
should be expected to contribute to the smoothness before POV-Ray
stops shooting rays, and is a positive value, the lower, the better.
Try this out, slowly increasing the amount of Focal_Blur_Accuracy
until you get a satisfying result. Use the macro instead of specifying
confidence and variance, as in:
#macro Focal_Blur_Accuracy (FB_Accuracy)
confidence 1-pow(10,-FB_Accuracy)
variance pow(10,-FB_Accuracy-2)
#end
camera {
[something]
Focal_Blur_Accuracy(1)
}
See if it helps any. Also, try Francois' Automatic DOF macro on
www.wozzeck.net .
Good luck.

Thanks a lot!
I don't have the time to fiddle with it right now..so I just did:
blur_samples 100
Focal_Blur_Accuracy(9)
:)
Attatched two details of the new blur, I'll render the full picture next
week..
Have a nice weekend!

It doesn't look like your 'center' question was properly answered, though I think
Peter's suggestion will certainly help.
Adjust your focal point for the center you desire, then adjust aperture to achieve the
impression you desire.
I hope that helps.
Grim
