Hi

Just wondering how everyone else goes about motion blur in MentalRay. MR Motionblur is sloooow & I can't afford to use it for my current job. Is there a way to speed it up a bit. Are there any shaders or other AE plugin utilities that anyone can recommend. I am on OSX.

Anyone familier with EI motion blur will know why I am so unimpressed with MR's. :hmm:

Cheers :thumbsup:

Change your Scanline settings to "rapid" and that will enable the new rapid motion blur in mental ray for Maya 6. If you aren't running 6, then you are better off rendering out your motion vectors and doing it in post.

Thanks Bill:thumbsup:

Turning on Rapid cut the render time in half but it is still a bit too slow for my liking. How do you render out Motion vectors & how can they be used in after effects?

Cheers :)
