Now, I'm going to hit Shift+R, because what I want to do is render my image, but I only want to see the depth mat. So I'm going to go into the Layer tab, click on Depth and also choose Single Pass. And, you'll see that my depth mat isn't really giving me much information, apart from the robot is going to be really blurred, and the background is not going to be blurred at all, or vice versa. Everything is black, meaning something will either be blurred or not blurred. There's not going to be any kind of finesse or detail in terms of, I'd rather have the claw maybe in focus and the rest of the robot gradually going out of focus to give us a more dramatic look.
