Iray and motion blur?

Deke

Love the iray renders I'm getting, but my animation still has a stutter-quality akin to old school stop-motion. Endearing, but not entirely acceptible. Is there any way to add motion blur to an iray render? I'v experimented with doing a second render in 3Delight and blending the layers in After Effects, but it's not entirely working.

If it's stuttering check your frame rate.

Iray and blur has been discussed in other threads on this, such as:

Blur is built into Iray, so I imagine they'll add it to D|S eventually.

Use post-processing... until then...

There are better ways, but these, are free, as far as I am aware.

Also, your video-codex may not be good. If RAW, that is demanding and has NO graphic acceleration. Use the standard H.246 (MPG/MP4/AVI/QT). Not sure if you can "set" the frame-rate, other than setting time. (Trick, double time and play it twice as fast to get 60FPS instead of 15 or 30 or whatever it is exporting video frames-frame-rate as.)

When saving the final video, do NOT "save in original frame-rate", save it as 24/30 or 60 FPS with "Variable bitrate", set to "quality". Only use RAW output IF you intend to do post-processing, which will play like stop-motion, because you are playing whole images as "video frames", which is demanding on any video system to display. You need some kind of final compression in the end.
