Sketchfab adds real-time Depth of Field
You can now add more photorealism and drama to your Sketchfab models by enabling the new Depth of Field filter.
Over the years, we’ve added many features to render your art beautifully on the Web: physically based rendering, supersampling, real time shadows and more. Today, we are happy to announce a new feature that will make your models look even better: a depth of field filter!
For those who are not familiar with depth of field, the effect simulates how a professional camera blurs the background and foreground of an image. For decades, photographers and filmmakers have used this property to draw the attention on their subject for better storytelling. A shallow depth of field is often considered a major technique for making photorealistic images.

Pretty soon, we’ll start seeing 3D animated short films on Sketchfab. Watch.
I think I said that a long while back, and it seems to come closer to that kind of thing increasingly with Sketchfab.
So now that we can recognize a point in space for depth of field, I wonder if we’ll ever be able to use that point in space to change the pivot point of the scene’s camera?
Juist double-click anywhere!
Huh! I didn’t know that! I’ll give it a try.
Or just right click and drag…
