Yep, depth of field. It's the effect we get with real life cameras where a Z range from the camera view gets focused and the rest gets blurred. I wanted to implement a little trick for achieving the effect with PV3D for a while, so, what can you do if you're sick and you can't sleep? :)

!!! Warning: The effect is done in a brute force !!! It generates 200 different images of the same bitmap and changing the planes textures based on the Z to the camera. If this needed to be used for a real website tricks for optimising the amount of images should be introduced.

Here it's another test with it:

UPDATE:
And if that wasn't enough... another test ;)
