Hello, I make a new compilation with the vector motion blur.
To using this option, don't miss the vec button in render layer, like in the image.

Download:
7zip (2MB)
zip(2.6MB)

It is looking for libpng and zlib.dll - I downloaded these dlls off the net and I get that "The ordinal 280 could not be located in the dynamic link library libpng.dll".

I suppose I should find the correct dll - though I have had no luck so far. Could you include it in the zip files? I'm really looking forward to this build.

You can find the 2 DLL you want at : http://blendertestbuilds.de/index.php?d ... le=dll.zip
But you have this dll in your 2.41 installation directory, it is the same.

Thank you lguillaume,now it's works.

Wonderful build...

The vec blur now works real nice - and I love the new time node. That will allow people to vary the depth of field over time and such like. My only comment about it - and the other curve nodes is that firstly the nodes are too small to work with well, secondly there are no labeled axes and thirdly you cannot pan within them. Perhaps there should be a way of linking to an IPO instead - how about having "node" IPOs?

EDIT: I notice that the fluid sim doesn't have motion blur applied. Morphing (ie shape keys) however do blur correctly. I suppose it is to do with the continuity of the data.

great feature! not only amazing but fast to render!

Fluids seem to be broken... baking the simulation doesn't even start.

hi, that's my first post here. i just want to show you, that the vector motion blur is not optically correct. please notice the sharp edges in my comparison to MAX's vector motion blur aka image motion blur, which gives a better result:

i hope you can make it more realistic.

dont work with Softbody??????

Koba · Post by **Koba** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 6:23 pm

Oh yeah...I forgot to say...

Fluids is broken in this build...I had to use the official build to bake the fluids. Then I brought them into this build to find that vec blur doesn't work with them either.

Same for softbodies I reckon.

As for the Blender vs Max comparison - yes Max's blur is better and I hope Blender's blur improves to the same quality. On the other hand motion blur is more of an important subliminal effect (in animation anyway) so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I suppose the discrepency is much more of an issue for stills.

I would think that softbodies should work fine, since they use the orignal vertexes. Fluid has new verts for each frame and hence it can't be blurred.

The way it renders resembles Yafray's bucket rendering (or other raytracers' way of rendering); but, yafray is no longer working?
I tried rendering a scene and got no difference with the internal render (neither did I get any viewport samples).

Will blender's native renderer turn into a raytracer-GI solution on its own?

The problem with softbodies is that the renderer needs to sample forward and back in time for the speed vectors. You can't do this with the softbody calculation, so it needs to be baked.

will be a irix version of blender? there are no versions in the official build

Yup. Baking softbodies work with motion blur.

I'm wondering if it will ever be possible with fluids - couldn't the fluid system bake the meshes in the same way as softbodies do? Perhaps the fluid meshes could be subdivided to all have the same vertex count after the fluid baking stage and then assigned to the same object.

I dunno, I'm just hoping that vector blur will work with everything.
