Motion blur (the real stuff)

Now that RL is enhancing iClone Animation engine (as confirmed in feedback tracker & very exciting too!), I would like to request that they consider a true motion blur feature or plugin whose effect would be at PERCEIVED as being local level (individual or key items - not global blur) and its degree of perceptability would be influenced by the speed of moving objects/characters or camera movement.

Frame rate and simulated cam exposure / shutter speed settings can be additional parameters that influence this effect as well.

It's a given that if RL improves animation & render, users *will* try to get some serious storytelling / fx work done and the first thing they will quickly notice is the lack of true motion blur.

Guaranteed RL will have to work on this at some point... Why not now?

Thanks RL team for the good work so far!

I might debate the need (or value) of object-specific settings.  I would think it's function of the camera settings  and the relative motion of the object on the screen (how many pixels does it move between frames), and would therefore treat all objects the same way.  But yes, we should have a "minimum threshold" value below which there is no blur.

Regardless, I think it makes sense to be able to do this in iClone so people don't have to resort to "faking" it in a post-production editing tool.

I support this request and will cast a vote.
