Rendering motion blur in IRAY?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)
Hi all, I've searched all through the forums, and everywhere else I could think of (blogs, YouTube, Google searches). I found out how top do motion blur on 3dDelight but I cannot find how to do it in IRAY without buying the 'Motion Blur in IRAY' package. Is there another way, or do I have to suck it up and buy the package?

    You would have to use another program to make the render. One which has that function available. At the moment, Daz does not use the motion-blur function in IRAY.

    Unfortunately, as the managers of remote-render IRAY-server have told me... You will not be able to render with functions beyond what the program has setup the "render project" with. Remote-render IRAY-server will downgrade itself to the specific version and functions used, of the original project which was setup by the original program. There will be no way to alter the files, as of current, to enable these functions or to force rendering in a non-similar version of the saved file.

    I asked them, because I wanted to render the same thing, as well as use the more current IRAY version, when Daz was on a version that couldn't use my video-cards. Unfortunately, the version they were using, at the time, did not support my cards. So, remote-rendering would not have been able to render, until Daz updated to a version that did. But, I still would not have been able to use the "Motion blur", which all versions had. (Apparently, there is more information needed, from the render-scene, which Daz does not yet include. I assume point-velocity, which can only be calculated by comparing one frame of an animated sequence, to another, or by forcing a set of values, to simulate motion in a still-image.)

    Feel free to contact them directly, if needed. But, as of last year, that was what I was told. (That may not STILL be the situation. But I suspect that it still is.)

    You can use the free trial, if you want to test it yourself.

    Thank you, I appreciate the info. I'll definitely look into it. I don't understand why they did away with it as a built in feature in IRAY when it's still built into 3dDelight.

    There are blur filters in PS, and Gimp IIRC, that can give the effect. There also standalone programs that can do it. I'd just add it after the render is completed.

    There are a few tools that can do the blur in post, even in batch mode, I think

    I believe project-dogwaffle (seriously - that's the name, and it's quite capable...) can do this and I know paint-shop-pro has various effects, and can be scripted to do batch/series. I wonder if image-magik (a free image processing toolkit) can do this in post, maybe with scripts to automate for animations.

    The blur package/tool you mentioned may work fine. It looks like it blends a series of overlays of previous frames of the moving scene to get the blur effect. This is an interesting effect for some applications, but it did not look like the traditional sort of blur I was looking for, so look closely at their promo pictures to be sure it's capable of what you are looking to do.

    cheers,
