Title: Motion Blur - other than camera
Post by: Volker Harun on July 29, 2007, 08:17:31 AM
Hi,

I was thinking of getting some more dynamic into my renders. And I am stuck by being able to add motion blur only when effecting the camera, its position and or rotation.

Will it be sometime, anytime possible to add motion blur to i.e. moving objects, terrain-modifications or so?

Or do I miss something?

Right now it is only possible to apply motion blur to the moving camera.  I'm not sure what will be offered in the future, though....

There are no plans to do this for the initial 2.0 release, but it's something I'd like to implement in future versions. Motion blur for object position/rotation changes will probably come before full blur of animated displacement functions.

if i may cast a vote for keeping in mind shadows to be a part of this implementation.  think spinning light trick matt :)

It could probably be an option, but it would massively increase render times. The spinning light trick is a nice way to absorb the high cost of soft shadows into the cost already spent on multiple shading steps per frame, but it's not quicker than doing soft shadows 'properly' if you can avoid doing multiple shading steps.
