Hi,
is there way to render the motion blur of objects directly in Octane?
Thanks

No way...

not sure if this might work.I have not tried it personally.Put 6 to 8 copies of your model slightly offset in the x/y/z axis.Render up with 1 at full opacity and the rest at 5% opacity.May be worth a shot as a workaround.

Thanks for the workaround. Maybe I will just export motion vectors and add the MB in post. But it would be a great feature in Octane.

Is there a technical reason why it is not possible? I guess it is because the way the exporter handles the geometry but it is possible to create camera motion blur so there must be a way.

Nope there is no way: Octane doesn't support object motion blur yet. And there is no way to communicate object motion blur to Octane. The camera data - including motion blur - is exported via command line and therefor isn't restricted by limitations of the OBJ format.

Thanks Abstrax,
maybe something for version 2.0...

Don't worry, I also would like to see object motion blur and later full motion blur in Octane, because motion blur does for animations what depth of field does for stills We just have to get a few things sorted before that.
