#threejs nerds! : I'm working with some DOF stuff, but it seems like every custom shader I work with isn't writing correctly to the depth buffer? Any way to fix / links to tutorials / tips?

You may need to implement your own customDepthMaterial for those objects threejs.org/docs/#api/en/c

stunning! this looks like exactly what I have to do! do you know if there are any examples of that being implemented? I always get pretty lost when trying to make shaders that need to fit within the three shader system :///

I can't remember if there's an official example, I do recall having to dig pretty deep to find how they work though. Here's the relevant code from my own engine, luckily it's not too complicated

and

Note that there's customDepthMaterial and customDistanceMaterial - for shadowmaps, one affects spot/directional lights while the other affects point lights. I'm not really sure what the difference is, or which one DOF relies on.
