since we got the new motion blur improvement, will something like this be possible to render/recreate inside maxwell ?
cheers

yes, that applies to emitters, the question is, how can you do a still, that contains the whole animation from the given example ?

It's the same thing, just set the shutterspeed low enough, like 0.25 for 4 seconds.

thanks, Mihai.
so the given animation is about 450 frames long. What would be the rough setup be looking like to have it rendered in one still, showing the whole animation like in the long exposure example ?
I need a little help/stun on the head here please

If your fps setting of the animation is 30, then 450 frames is 15 seconds = 0.067 as the shutter speed setting. But keep in mind all the motion/lighting must be calculated for those 15 seconds so it will take some time

If your motion isn't very fast you can start with a lower motion steps setting like 20 and see of the resulting motion captures ok the entire animation, if not keep raising the steps until the motion trails look ok to you.

I was trying it even with a simple scene, didn't get the desired result yet, maybe its an error on my side.. working with the latest cinema 4d plugin though.
Gonna try again later.

You are unlikely to get exactly what you illustrated above. That head is sharp and unblurred. Nothing looks motionblurred to me - more just stretched and modelled that way.
edit -
Actually now that I look at the process I see that what is moving is an animated slice.
Exactly like this:

interesting.
