Hey Sam! Just watched the post on your blog about Octane for Max... How did you achive object motion blur!? Its most visible in this image

It's just a multi-pass effect in 3ds Max. Go to Cameras -> target and choose motion blur from the drop down list under "multi-pass effect"

For each frame of the animation, 12 subframes are rendered which are blended together, producing a nice and soft blur even for quickly rotating objects such as the transformer in the screenshot you posted. Rendering with this kind of motion blur is only about 30 % slower than rendering without motion blur.

Here's the final render with motion blur:




And a real-time preview of the transformer animation with materials:

Thanx Sam! I hope that type of camera post effects will work for the other host apps aswell. The motion blur really looks nice and I miss it :I
