Hi all-
I ran this test last night and am very impressed with the results. This is rendered with "sub-frame" motion blur that renders in this case 16 frames and then blends them together into one frame. I NEVER used this method as it took ages as you could imagine. The look is great, but the time was unacceptable.

That was until now. This test was first run without motion blur. About 1700 samples looked good. Approx 2 minutes on my nutty Titan rig. For this test I ran it with 16 frame motion blur but set the samples at 150. Each combined frame now takes about 5 minutes and is just as noise free because it's combining all of those noisy 150 sample frames into one noise free frame with blur. Awesome. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this simple test.

I'll run another test tonight with camera's moving more to get a feel for that too.

Check it out! Thanks-

Alec

that's it
should be enough 1700/16 = 100-150 samples for noiseles image. And use with incremental rendering mode for lower render times if it's possible

Alec, that is really good stuff - and the perfect choice for showing off mb. And its really, really nice that you clarified (and proved) that low samples x multiple sub-frames can achieve kick-ass results... I just hope we can get a similar mb in LW sometime in the not-too-distant-future

EDIT: ... and mere hours later, I see this:

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Juanjo (LW plug dev) rules!
