View Full Version : 3ds max: Scene won't render with motion blur turned on :(

I have a small animation that renders out at under 1 min per frame. However as soon as I hit motion blur in the render menu and try again it gets stuck at 20% of the first frame and doesn't continue.

I've checked the task manager and the processor hits 100% for the first 10mins and then drops significantly. I've left it to see if it finishes and after 3 hours it hasn't budged.

Edit: According to the task manager my page file usage keeps creeping up and then the processor usage drops....

Edit 2: Btw I'm using mental ray


My motion blur settings are:

Shutter duration: 0.5
shutter offset: -0.25
motion segments: 1
time samples: 1

I can't understand why it would take such a short time to render with motion blur off and then become completely impossible to render with motion blur on.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be really interested to hear them

Thanks
