  I hate to be the voice of gloom but it would seem to me that although
the implementation is different it is very much like the many image
filtering effects tools used in paint programs. If you could utilize
the blurred images to produce an animation it still is using post
image manipulation for an effect that was not an implemented feature
of the raytracing package you are using. The intent of the rule is to
cause you to use your skills and imagination to get the effects you
need using the software provided and features of what that software
provides. Many raytracing effects can be simulated in 2D paint packages
but are not what the irtc is all about.

These are my opinions and yours may very.
