Image Motion Blur
Image motion blur has been applied to the falling coin on the right.
Motion blur can enhance the realism of a rendered animation by simulating
the way a real-world camera works. A camera has a shutter speed, and if
significant movement occurs during the time the shutter is open, the image
on film is blurred.
3ds Max provides a couple of ways to generate motion blur. Image motion
blur is one.
Scene motion blur on page 7919 , a Video Post Scene Event on page
6607 effect, is another. For most purposes, image motion blur gives better results
than scene motion blur. Scene motion blur is a more exaggerated effect. You
can use both image and scene motion blur in the same rendering.
You can also apply image motion blur as a
render effect on page 6478 .
(Another option,
object motion blur on page 7867 , is not meant to simulate a
camera, but to improve the rendered appearance of fast-moving objects.)
