When I use Fire for close ups to setup Materials - it is not useful as the image seems to be calculated with every SL at a slightly changed camera position, resulting in a blurred picture.

Could you send me a simple scene which demonstrates this? It could be camera motion blur being enabled in the Scene Object, but that would be a bug -- it is supposed to be ignored when exporting to Fire.

will strip the scene and send it to you. Thanks for looking into it.

I had that several times now, not just when using cameras that are very near to the object.

It can´t be matter of focus? Try adding a camera tag and play with the values.

Thanks for sending the file. With fstop @ 3.5 and the objective only some centimeters away, you are simply seeing a heavy depth of field effect. You say you have seen this with larger scenes though -- do you possibly have an example of that?

didn't think it was the DOF but one can always learn new stuff. (Never knew this is the way you create DOF in Maxwell, but thinking over it it makes sense. )

concerning the larger scenes I'll inform you when I stumble over this effect again. I don't have any particular scene in mind but had this effect mainly when using the editor view instead of a camera.
Btw: When using the editor View - how is the focus of the camera set?
