Software used:
3ds Max, Photoshop, mental ray

In this way you will have two layers, one is the perfect copy of the other. Apply on the copy a gaussian blur effect (image 17).

The last step is very important. Choose the "eraser tool" and delete the part of the image which should be sharp (image 18).

Try to use a soft brush and set it to opacity 60.

Thank you for a very detailed tutorial! I'm a design student myself and did have CAD course in my university but they are not as good as your tutorials!
