Special RenderMan Camera Effects
Introduction
RenderMan provides users with big time camera effects for your use and enjoyment, including highest-quality motion blur, depth of field, and special effects implemented to help you simulate “imperfections” in your camera lens to enhance your efforts to create “photorealistic” renders.
Motion Blur
Pixar's RenderMan can motion blur until the cows come home, offering users unparalleled quality and control. The RenderMan for Maya plugin offers simple control over motion blur effects via the Render Settings, including the new shutter open and close settings introduced in version 13 of the renderer. Additionally, multi-segment motion blur can be enabled by adding the Motion Samples attribute to the blurred object's Transform node.

Depth of Field and Bokeh
The RenderMan for Maya plugin uses the Depth of Field settings for your Maya camera. In addition, you can add Aperture Controls to your camera via the Attributes menu in the Maya Attribute Editor. The Aperture Controls allow you to manipulate the shape and other characteristics of your “lens”, simulating the imperfections found in an actual camera's lens.
