Lens Sim 2.3 for Blender Full Version Free

🎥 Lens Sim for Blender – Realistic Camera Lens Simulation for Cinematic 3D Renders

Lens Sim is a high-end Blender add-on that brings real-world camera lens simulation into 3D workflows. Built for professionals and enthusiasts, it transforms Blender’s camera system by replicating real optical behaviors like chromatic aberration, distortion, and natural bokeh. Perfect for photorealism, VFX, and cinematic renders.

🔍 Key Features of Lens Sim

1. Realistic Optical Effects

Chromatic aberration
Vignetting
Lens distortion
Lens softness and bloom
Focus breathing
Accurate bokeh reproduction

These imperfections give 3D scenes an authentic, photographic look.

2. Built-In Real Lens Library

Simulated lenses modeled after real-world counterparts
Wide-angle to telephoto options
Unique distortion, blur, and bokeh profiles per lens

3. Custom Aperture Shapes

s fully customized iris shapes
Create stylized or filmic bokeh with non-standard apertures

4. Advanced Simulation Controls

Aberration ramp control
Tilt-shift simulation
Anamorphic distortions
Swirly bokeh
Diopter effects
Field of view extension
Dirt masks and overlays

Full creative control over how light behaves through the virtual lens.

5. Split Diopter Functionality

Allows two separate focus planes
Sharp foreground and background simultaneously
Ideal for stylized cinematography

⚙️ Compatibility

Works with Blender 4.2+
Designed for Cycles renderer only
Fully s Windows and macOS
Compatible with render farms (no dependency during render time)

Note: Slight performance hit expected due to the depth of physical simulation. Depends on scene complexity and lens settings.

💰 Pricing Options

Lite Version – $15
Basic features and limited lens collection
Full Version – $40
