I know typically people come across a problem and it's fixed by increasing that object's motion blur samples, however this is not that problem.

Firstly, this is an image from a series I'm doing about car wheels in motion. The result is spectacular and exactly what I needed (granted I had to use 128 motion blur samples).


But as I started messing with the kernel's motion blur duration setting, I noticed something strange.



It appears as though octane is taking it's samples during the entire frame, and then just using less of them based on the duration. I think this is a shoddy way of dealing with this. I think that instead (if possible) the motion blur samples should be distributed only amongst the time needed.

I will check this case

Thank you Karba! I know you are busy so I appreciate this. I know a majority of users may not benefit from this, but those of us pushing the renderer to its limits are!

Here is a quick test that I ran to show some of the issues that I'm seeing.

Attached are a few stills and a link to a short animation. I'm using Octane 2.06 and 3ds Max plugin.

The scene is simple, it is a small rectangle that is rotated at a high velocity. and then linked to a box that is moving forward is space with high velocity. I have a more complicated scene for a project that I'm working on that actually shows much worse artifacts than this. But this will give you a good idea.

As for motion blur settings: Duration .5 (180 degree film standard).
Motion blur samples: 4 (I saw no difference when going to higher sample rate)
Movable proxy: Checked
vertex motion blur: UNchecked
object motion blur: Checked

Can someone at Otoy please take a looks at this? or at least respond? I've posted about this in a couple other locations with no response.

Thanks!

What is wrong with this video?

I am trying to reproduce the issue.
Could you send me the scene (just with this wheel)?

Please refer to the still frames from the video that help show the problem

And what is the problem with them?

If that doesn't look wrong to you, I will post some stills from my current project to better illustrate the issue I'm having. But I keep running into the same issue where object with rotation that are moving in a straight line do not have proper motion blur. They have a weird curved motion blur.

You can see it in this picture I posted a few months back as well. The object is moving in a perfect straight line. no reason for the motion blur to look like that.

Are you expecting straight lines in motion blur of rotating objects? LOL
