Hello,

just a quick doodle (eventually it should become kind of a wallpaper, oh
my...)
The motion blur was done in a single POV run without post processing. Just
an animation loop, and the following code:

#if (clock_on)
 #if (frame_number!=final_frame)
  //
  // Scene stuff goes here....
  //

 #else
  // composite
  camera {
   orthographic
   location -z
   look_at 0
   right x*image_width
   up y*image_height
  }

  box {
   <-image_width,-image_height,0>/2,<image_width,image_height,1>/2
   pigment {
    average
    pigment_map {

     #local fn=initial_frame;
     #while (fn<=final_frame-1)
      #local _t=fn/(final_frame-1-initial_frame);

      [2-pow(((_t-0.5)*2),2)
       image_map {
        concat("mblur",str(fn,-1,0),".bmp") // Adjust "-1" to the number of
digits in the file names
        once
        interpolate 4
       }
       translate -0.5
       scale <image_width,image_height,1>
      ]

      #local fn=fn+1;
     #end

    }
   }
   finish { ambient 1 diffuse 0}
  }

 #end
#else
 #error "Animation loop must be enabled!"
#end

Whoosh !

I like it!
At the moment I'm trying to understand the code.
The red and green lights mean starboard and port, right?

Yours,

I can't remember exactly which is red or green... It just seemed to be a
little colorless without them.
Since I like small red lights at large techno-greebled structures I added
the red lights, to break the symmetry the green ones were used on the
opposite side (and yes, I had the starbord/port issue in mind...)

Red is port, green is starboard.

Not unless you're also going far too fast. Port is the same side of the
ship whichever way you look. It's just whether it's left or right that
changes.

Red is port on the ship. What I never can remember is whether red should 
be on your port side when you're leaving port or returning to port. 
I.e., which bouy is red, and which is green?

In most of the world it's the upstream direction (i.e. red on the left
when you're heading in) but in Japan, the Americas, South Korea, and the
Phillipines it's the downstream direction.

The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

Nice.
Reminds me of a movie with spaceships
and a evil breathing Frankenstein.

Nice doodle :)

I finally understood the code - it's actually quite "simple" but brilliant.
Just wondering, can this blur effect be used in animations (effectively)?

Here's just something I doodled with your code - an ogre hitting with a club
:)
