Hi,

I'm in need of some motion blurring. I'm using Chris Colefax' Galaxy
include file for an animation (actually I will be using these images as
background composite for a LightWave animation). For some realism I need
Motion Blurring in the Galaxy scene. Does anyone have any good tips on
(simulating) motion blurring in POV-Ray (3.1g Windows).

Rob Verweij.

In the official POV-Ray, you have to render more frames per second,
depending on the amount of "blur samples" you need and average them
afterwards. In MegaPOV, it's easier.

Warp's TGA Averager does the job -

Mh...in 3D Studio it is called "scene motion blur". That means, when the
camera is rotating/moving, the complete scene (=all objects) will have
motion blur. Then you only need to rotate or move the camera and the
background (here: the stars) will be blurred

Maybe Nathan K. add a scene-blurring in his code (MegaPOV).

	I don't think Nathan planed to do it soon.
	Months ago I've implemented such a thing in my POV-Ray patch.
The camera is added two more vectors which corresponds to its previous
location and look_at vectors. "Previous" is somewhat related to an
animation. Hence the location of the camera and its look_at vector are
linearly interpolated during frame rendering, usind adaptive method
just like in focal blur. Vectors are precalculated for each frame,
depending on the samples number (at least 5 for correct results).
Linear interpolation is okay for relatively small moves. Also a
move_factor allows to tweak the effect (actually reduces it in the
0..1 range) and somewhat simulates the shutter speed (i.e. for a
25 fps animation, move_factor 0.5 will simulate a 1/50 shutter speed).
	For now I've still no tutorial for it. I'm currently performing
an animation with it, and planed to include it on my pages. Yet a simple
explanation can be found in the next file (jump to bottom):

	This is still an experimental feature since my patch is mainly
for complete different purposes.
	Hope it can be useful.
