Question: Maya: How to create Blurry reflections ?

[alexx]

check out the plugins on highend.. there are some and even some scripts i think that can do that...

if you want it faster and more customizable, try blurring them in post..

Thanks Alexx, I'll try searching there....

By the way, forgot to mention:

Can I create a shader that would have blurry reflections, without resorting to the help of the bump ?

[alexx]

hmm.. with some mel or some "pixho" like connections for sure :)

but still: you will need a lot of samples usually to get blurred reflections..
better go for the post way ;)

Hmm, and if it's going to be animation ? I don't think it would be so easy, and if it'll work at all.

So that's why I want to create a shader with such adjustments. But I see that it will be rendering out to slow if i'll use bump technique for this. And as I know Maya don't have such settings, or some post processing adjustments to blur the reflections....So, what to do... ?

P.S. sorry for my english :D
