# Line 157 | Line 157 | how to adjust the exposure for each frame.
157   As in
158   .I pfilt,
159   the exposure setting may be given either as a multiplier or as a
160 < number of f-stop adjustments (eg. +2 or -1.5).
160 > number of f\-stop adjustments (eg. +2 or \-1.5).
161   Alternatively, a file name may be given, which
162   .I ranimate
163   will interpret as having one exposure value per line per frame,
# Line 180 | Line 180 | options of rpict, along with appropriate suffixes,
180   and thus should contain a
181   .I printf(3)
182   style integer field to distinguish one frame number from another.
183 < The final frames will use this name with a ".pic" suffix.
183 > The final frames will use this name with a ".hdr" suffix.
184   The default value is the assigned
185   .I DIRECTORY
186   followed by "/frame%03d".
# Line 271 | Line 271 | before it is executed.
271   Normally, the transfer command does something such as convert the
272   frames to another format and/or copy them to tape or some other
273   destination device before removing them.
274 + The
275 + .I fieldcomb(1)
276 + script may be used to conveniently combine fields into frames for
277 + field-based animations.
278   If this variable is not given, the final frames are left where they
279   are.
280   (See
# Line 279 | Line 283 | above.)\0
283   .TP
284   .BR RSH
285   The command to use instead of
286 < .I rsh(1)
286 > .I ssh(1)
287   to execute commands remotely on another machine.
288   The arguments and behavior of this program must be identical to the UNIX
289 < .I rsh
289 > .I ssh
290   command, except that the
291   .I -l
292   option will always be used to specify an alternate user name rather than the
293   .I "user@host"
294   convention.
295 < Th
295 > The
296   .I -l
297   option may or may not appear, but the
298   .I -n
299   option will always be used, and the expected starting directory will
300   be that of the remote user, just as with
301 < .I rsh.
301 > .I ssh.
302   .TP
303   .BR NEXTANIM
304   This variable specifies the next
# Line 352 | Line 356 | If this number is less than 2, then bluring is perform
356   only, resulting in greater noise than the combination of
357   .I rpict
358   and
355 .I pinterp used otherwise.
356 (The default value for number of samples is 5.)\0
357 The
358 .I pmblur(1)
359 command is used to generate the given number of additional views for
359   .I pinterp
360 < to average together.
361 < The default value is 0, meaning no motion blurring.
360 > used otherwise.
361 > (The default value for number of samples is 5.)\0
362 > The default fraction is 0, meaning no motion blurring.
363   This option does not currently work with the
364   .I ANIMATE
365 < variable, since pinterp only works for static environments.
365 > variable.
366   .TP
367 + .BR DBLUR
368 + This variable specifies the aperture diameter for depth-of-field blurring,
369 + in world units.
370 + A number of samples may be given as a second argument, which controls the
371 + number of additional frames computed and averaged together by
372 + .I pinterp.
373 + If this number is less than 2, then blurring is performed by
374 + .I rpict
375 + only, resulting in greater noise than the combination of
376 + .I rpict
377 + and
378 + .I pinterp
379 + used otherwise.
380 + (The default value for number of samples is 5.)\0
381 + To simulate a particular camera's aperture, divide the focal length of
382 + the lens by the f-number, then convert to the corresponding
383 + world coordinate units.
384 + For example, if you wish to simulate a 50mm lens at f/2.0 in
385 + a scene modeled in meters, then you divide 50mm by 2.0 to get 25mm,
386 + which corresponds to an effective aperture of 0.025 meters.
387 + The focus distance is determined by the length of the view directon vector.
388 + The default aperture is 0, meaning no depth-of-field blurring.
389 + .TP
390   .BR RTRACE
391   This boolean variable tells
392   .I ranimate
# Line 464 | Line 487 | If we only want to see what default values
487   would use without actually executing anything, we can invoke it
488   thus:
489   .IP "" .2i
490 < ranimate -n -e sample.ran
490 > ranimate \-n \-e sample.ran
