Hi, I can't seem to get x-particles motion blur to work in the newest stable release? Other objects blur fine.

Hi aoktar,

I tested the attached scene with Xparticles 3 and motion blur works. EDIT: with C4D octane 2.22.2 test3.
However, the cam in your scene was not setup right, because I think you made it before you made some changes to the camera tag.
The good old shutter alignment was set to nothing, so I selected "before". Also there was set a timeshift of 25, set back to 0 and voila, motion blur is there.



Cya,
ChrisVis

Right, but it's not a mistake. I see this problem on old scenes. Propably this is some broken m.blur attributes(time shift, etc..) between old-new versions. I'll investigate the reason.

Hi yes I also tested the scene posted here - the particles simply disappear when activating motion blur in the Octane camera tag.

This is what happens when i open the file

This is the render when not touching any settings
b.PNG
I then turned on the tag, and the render goes dark / the particles disappear
c.PNG
Caching did not help

Tried switching between transform and point - still no particles

Update: Hi sorry didn't see that you've already responded, thanks for so quick support, I'm running X-Particles 2.5 - maybe this could be an issue? I will try the settings suggested above then and will let you now at once. :-)

Hi just tested with the suggested settings, but no luck here with X-Particles 2.5 and OctaneRender version 2.16.

Hi :-) I tested with the exact same settings as suggested and still no particles. I've also tested with the latest beta (Octane-for-C4D-2.22.2-test3) and still no particles.

Maybe it's an issue with X-particles 2.5? I'm runnnings with a GTX 980.
