Palf Bokeh
Aperture-shaped defocus with depth-of-field control.
The shape of the aperture, made literal — with depth of field.
Palf Bokeh is an After Effects effect that generates defocus with the aperture shape of a camera lens. The blur amount is set in pixels, and the iris can be circular, polygonal, or driven by a custom layer. Feed it a depth map to control depth of field, or boost the highlights to produce large bokeh balls.
