Hi all - tried searching the forums here but didn't find any relevant information.

My dilemma - I have a scene file of a coffee cup mesh (.SD animation file) being fractured by a bullet (made in C4D) as well as a liquid particle mesh (.bin sequence) out of RealFlow 2014. When I add the Octane Tag and turn on motion blur to the objects in my scene, the cup mesh and bullet display motion blur properly but I can't seem to get the liquids to render motion blur, even if I turn up the Particle Mesh objects frame sample rate and/or Octane's motion blur settings. See screenshot below. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks!

octane can't supports motion blur for nonconstant vertex amounts. you can try but will give wrong mblur.

I'm sure it's not ideal, but reelsmart motion blur might be able to get you out of a hole here.

Ah! Well that explains that! Thanks.

Also, I appreciate the recommendation for RSMB, I've used it extensively in the past but it's usually pretty hideous when applied to liquids. May give it a whirl nonetheless.

a alternative is sub-frame mblur. it was using on times of lacking real motion blur. Do some search on forum if you like it.

Tell me if I'm wrong but I think this means you cannot get motion blur for any liquid meshes. I am considering purchasing x-particles or DPIT Effex but it sounds like motion blur will not be possible from the meshes they create either. Is that correct?

you may know that i don't write this parts. And as i know that's the limitation. Meshes should have the constant vertex count. Because it cannot follow correct vertexs frame-by-frame to produce correct motion blur.

Of course! The standalone can't do it either. I know it's around the top of the features request poll so hopefully one day soon this will be possible at least through X-particles.
