This would presumably turn the skinner mesh animation into something with keyframes that Octane would recognise for motion blur?
Just converting to meshes will not be a solution without having vertexmap tags with speed vectors i believe.

OK thanks.

I managed to export my scene to Alembic and then back in again to C4D and it works, but not looked at vertex map tags and speed vectors yet.

Will have a look tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
did you find any solution? I need motion blur on liquid in X-Particles too.
Thank you.

Would love to know if there's a current way to do this. I've just spent the last 1H30 looking for a solution to this, and aside from the Sub-frame method, I can't find anything.

There has to be a way, right? Feels like getting Octane's motion blur on X-Particles fluids would be a pretty common thing.

Don't you have some tags with vector speeds on XP fluids? Or generate somehow? Please put an example let's check if you can't find.

Hey aoktar, thanks a ton for your reply.

In the manual (this page : http://www.aoktar.com/octane/OCTANE%20H ... nBlur.html), you do mention "You can do the same in Houdini or Xparticles 4." in the last line, but I can't seem to be able to do so with the xpVertexMap object (which is what I'm guessing you're referring to : http://docs.x-particles.net/html/vmgen.php).

First; what should be put in the "Object" field of the xpVertexMap object? The editable particle, or the XP emitter... or a Mesher...? I'm guessing the particle object? This is what I have currently.

Second; the fact that you say that this is possible in XP4 makes me think that you know there's a way to get the individual vertex maps of the XYZ axis from the xpVertexMap object, but I can't seem to find how?

I should clarify : my whole message here is about applying motion blur with the "Vertex Speed" motion blur type for my fluid's foam. I chose the "Vertex Speed" because I assume it's not possible with other motion blur types.

Thanks a ton once again!

I'm finding so many people asking about this exact thing, it's crazy.
