I've been getting that same feeling Sam. Maybe I just *need* some meds ;)

And I agree 100% Thomas, MegaPov motion blur is wonderful and I'd love to see it
in 3.7 (and I didn't realize Clipka was so anti-motion-blur when I mentioned
this to him over in the tc-rtc forums earlier this week).

I think the MegaPov glow (or something similar) would also be great for
volumetric lighting, etc., without enduring long media render times.

Did I say I was /anti/-motion-blur?

I just said I could go without - as proven with my TC-RTC shot - and 
that therefore I wouldn't be the one to pick up the challenge of 
implementing it.

Heck, I can't implement /everything/ :-P

Oops, my misinterpretation. Well, I'm having a look at it myself anyway...

> Heck, I can't implement /everything/ :-P

Haha, I agree; I'm sure you have other things to do in your life besides writing
code :)

Sometimes I wonder if Christoph has another life besides writing code.... 
:-)
But I agree with him. He is already doing a great job on 3.7

Hm... given that in my daytime job I'm a software developer, too - well, 
not much I guess :-P

No, seriously, I also occasionally do some active racing... you know, 
that stuff where it's all about speed - what's it called again? Rate... 
Reight... Raytracing - yeah, that was the name :-D

I guess I'm actually a bit of a workaholic, with puzzles being my 
poison, and software development tends to give me ample of that.

Thanks.

  Either you passionately love motion blur, or you hate it. There's no
middle ground. ;)

I'm for it... when, and if, it actualy ADD something interesting to a scene.
But, as for focal blur, you must be realy carefull about not overdoing it.
Motion blur for the sake of motion blur is just baaaaaaaad!


Case proven: There IS a middle ground :P

You're talking about motion blur as an artistic device, or an integrated 
motion blur feature in POV-Ray?

We were talking about the latter until now.

  One could take a rather different view. For example: "Saying that motion
blur for the sake of motion blur is just bad is as silly as saying that
lighting just for the sake of lighting, or texturing just for the sake of
texturing, is bad. Like those, motion blur is a visual tool. Just because
it's used doesn't automatically make it good or bad."
