This is a huge improvement! My previously laggy scenes are now smooth as butter in the editor. Just one remaining bug when inspecting a solo model that it doesn’t render properly unless I add an camera to the GO (on Linux by the way, on Windows I don’t have this issue 🙂). ![No camera added](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/2/c26f8f759fecde878dca2739a009e601a1766cd9.png) ![With camera](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/7/4/74e9c2347ea42e9232141a77beb65655a1926500.png) ---

Thank you! Yeah, it must be something related to default camera near/far planes I believe, all models within (-1,1) dimensions, so e.g. built-in ones do work. ---

> [@selimanac](#): > > . I found a terrible issue with the new DoF and I do not know how to fix it yet. I guess I have to take a look at it for a few days. I think I fixed all the issues with the DoF implementation now. I have two options now; depth only and hybrid depth with distance. I’m going to share it as a separate asset.

Map is quite complete and I got the police cam now 🙂 Unfortunately I had to spend most of the time fixing issues related to the Graph Editor. This is a bad thing because I didn’t have much time left to implement everything I wanted to, but it is also a good thing since the Graph Editor will eventually become a standalone solution for the graph pathfinder. (I’m zooming in manually for now, but it will be auto) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3B4us6cc064/maxresdefault.jpg "gta3") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B4us6cc064) ---

Who said it does not look like GTA 1 at all? Last day, and I guess I completed implementing my [DoF](https://github.com/selimanac/defold-depth-of-field) into [Light and Shadows](https://github.com/Dragosha/defold-light-and-shadows). Now the system requires an RTX 5080 to run 😃 I just need to clean up the mess, and then it is done.
