Hi!

Animated emitters doesn't seem to work when I activate motion blur. Is there a workaround?

Cheers

There is a limitation in Maxwell which causes artifacts in some cases when rendering moving emitters with motion blur. Can you post a sample rendering or sample scene, so we can tell if this is what you're experiencing?

The emitter is using IES, and that's not supported in combination with motion blur yet.
