SceneDefocus

Depth of field on a 3D scene, defocused by its own depth buffer. A row of orbs is drawn into a render target, then scene.combined(with: scene.depth, .defocus(...)) racks focus through them. Drag to rack focus by hand.

/// Depth of field on a real 3D scene, defocused by the scene's **own** depth buffer.
///
/// Where `Effects/Defocus` hands `.defocus` a depth map you draw by hand, here the
/// depth comes for free: draw a 3D scene into a render target, and because meshes
/// land in it the target captures depth, exposed as `scene.depth`, a gray layer
/// (0 near … 1 far) the renderer fills from the scene's depth buffer. Feed that to
/// `.defocus` as the aux and the scene racks focus like a real lens.
///
/// ```swift
/// let scene = makeRenderTarget()
/// withTarget(scene) { camera(...); drawSphere(...) }      // 3D → depth captured
/// let dof = scene.combined(with: scene.depth, .defocus(focus: ...))
/// drawImage(dof.image, 0, 0)
/// ```
///
/// `scene.depth` maps over the camera's `near`/`far`, so set them to bracket the
/// scene (good practice for depth precision anyway). Here a row of orbs recedes
/// from `z = +10` to `z = −18`, and the camera's `near: 5, far: 34` straddle them so
/// the focal plane sweeps the whole row. Drag horizontally to rack focus by hand;
/// left idle, it sweeps on its own. The blur carries near/far bokeh separation, so a
/// defocused near orb spreads softly over the sharp ones behind it.
