Motion Blur

Hi.

Does anyone know, how to use motion blur? In C4D? If not in C4D, how to use it in studio then?
I am on the 80th frame of an falling-stone animation, motion blur-tag is given to the stone in c4d, and when i hit the (c4d-)render button it works. I activated the motion blur button within the cinemaxwell.plug, but couldn't get the effect in the maxwellrender.

I opened the scene in studio (what I try to avoid I must say) but I could not find anything that looks as if it would control or activate anything like a motion blur effect.

Thanks for help.
Mesut.

Hi arch4d.

Thank you for such a quick response.
Does it not work per plug-in or is motion blur gerally deactivated (like resume rendering etc.)?

Thanks.

It work, also with c4d, if the italian language is not a problem, look at this post:

What is the setting of the shutter speed?
If it's to hight it's impossible to have motion bluer.

Hi.

I don't read italien, too. But with the help of some translators and guessing around... hehe. I'm not sure how many mistakes I made before so I guess I don't try and explain what was missing, but how I made it work.
Btw: I was trying to render out a still, not an animation...

Following scene: (Interiors not modelled my me, downloadable... and btw: if s.o. knows who had this idea of a falling rock first, please tell me... I've been looking for this pic for so long...)

Image

- The polygonrock falls during an amount of frames. (So yes, there is an animation.) I thought I'd take the frame in which the rock must have the fastest speed, so I took the last frame, but that was wrong. It had to be one frame before the last. The last frame didn't want to be blurred at all.

- The Cinema4Tag "motion blur" must be attached to the polygon_rock.
I couldn' believe it, when I realized that the value, you can give (0-100%), is being put into maxwell_renderer!! hehe... What you see above is a value of 50%.

- Enable motion blur in cinemaxwell plug-in.

- Watch you shutter in your cam_prefs. The longer you keep the shutter open, the more intense will the blur effect be visible.
(In the above, I chose: 1 / 0.5)

That's it.

Hope you could follow my sophisticated english :roll:

Greetings.
Mesut.

Hi Tyrone.

Yes.
I read it.

Did you read this very thread, you're posting in?

I asked a question, only beppeg could answer (leading me to his italien page), i thanked for his help, then others came in, wanting advice... and i tried to give some.

Thx for being attentive.

I do, and I like to make sure that no loose ends are left in this forum as much as possible.

So at times, it may seem strange that I go through and check that questions have been answered and that if there is a bug that has not been placed on the list, it gets placed on the list.
