hi all,

i try it with a better worded version now
what can i do to activate the motion blur for a Point Level Animation in cinema 4d?

any help greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance

Motion blur at the point level is not currently supported. It's on my todo list, though.

thanks for your fast answer!
any tip for a workaround? i really need this going....

[JDHill]

No, there is not really any workaround -- to get blur, objects, not points, need to move.

I am exporting an animation from poser/dazstudio, by your knowledge,
can't I make the object move, instead of just the points?

(loud thinking, I hope someone hears me)

[JDHill]

Sorry, I don't know much about those applications, perhaps somebody else does.

Are they exported via MDD? If something else, what?

I don't have any good ideas w.r.t. workaround, unfortunately. I too would really like to see motion blur enabled for PLA/deformation, precisely because there really doesn't seem any particularly viable workaround for dealing with such alterations otherwise, and MDD-based (and now, also Alembic-based) animation data transport really needs the option to support motion blurring.

Jeremy, is support for PLA/deformation motion blur coming "soon"? Or not even particularly looked at yet?

You won't find a workaround -- you need a copy of each mesh state written into the MXS (we can support only the "old-style" two steps per frame, as there is not support for per-vertex vector-based blur in Maxwell). As for "soon", I can't say; I have an idea how I might accomplish this, but I have yet to prove it can be made to work in actual practice.

Ah, well that's pretty much the answer I expected, no worries. Good luck and hope the idea pans out!
