Lens Sim 3.2.1 [Blender]
NB! The newest version of Lens Sim only works when rendering with NVIDIA OptiX GPU's or CPU in Cycles. It uses the OSL camera shaders that were introduced in Blender 4.5, so make sure you are using the newest Blender version.
Render with Real-World Lenses
Lens Sim is a Blender addon created to simulate camera lenses based on real-world optical data. By extending the standard blender camera you can easily choose and render dozens of lenses in Cycles. By simulating the physical characteristics of glass and the aperture opening we get common lens effects such as chromatic aberration, vignetting, distortion, lens softness, focus breathing and natural bokeh shapes. These effects contribute to the organic, imperfect look of physical photography. The standard camera provides an idealized, perfect clean render that misses out on these unique characteristics, making images feel sterile or too "perfect," which can detract from a "film-like" look. This addon inspires to improve that.
