Toon Motion Blur

[KenH]

I'm working on a toon walk cycle. I have motion blur set, but it seems to be coming out strangely. Is MB not possible in toon? Here's what it's doing:

 

I've since turned off motion blur and it's still happening. I don't know why it's happening now.

is that with multi-pass? or just A-buffer? I would think that you would get a good blur with multipass, but I haven't done anything with toon yet.

It was multi-pass. I had accidentally switched Field Render on. No idea why that effect would be needed, but it's fixed now. Thanks!

That is for rendering for interlaced video.

I was about to say that it looked like field rendering. Field rendering is used for interlaced T.V.'s and such. An NTSC television refreshes all 480+ lines every 30th of a second. But it does it by doing the even lines in one pass, and the odd ones in the next. Each pass happens in a 60th of a second. So by putting one 60th worth of animation on each "Field", you can effectively double your frame rate to 60fps on a interlaced medium like T.V..

 

Hope that make some sense,

With apologies to Ken...

I love it when people make these kind of 'mistakes'.

Such interesting results and information are revealed!

 

Now the trick of course is to store the information discovered for a time when we really need that particular solution or effect. That is not such an easy task!
