Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting motion blur to work. I know it does work since I got it in one of my renders but for the life of me I can't repeat that one success.

I have enabled Motion blur in the Render Settings and tested with variety of shutter and time sample setting with no luck. I've also set the shutter time in the camera settings to a non-zero value. In this case I got motion blur on the one object that is not moving in the scenes (a simple flat plane). The camera is not moving in these scenes.

In the one scene where I was getting motion blur it no longer works although I may have adjusted a setting inadvertently.

Is there some secret I'm missing? the Octane for Maya manual does not seem to mention motion blur anywhere. Does it only work with cached files or something? Or is there some other setting I need to activate?

Thanks,

Eric Keller

Also it would be awesome if, in some future version, you guys could add a motion vector output to the Info Channel kernel so MB can be done in post!

Not sure what I did but I got motion blur working again. I do need to upgrade to the latest version of the plug-in. Perhaps this is a bug in the render batch?
