3–38) help topics. Changes you make to the Scene
Event Render Options affect the Render Scene
dialog, as well.
Scene Motion B lur—Turns on the scene motion-blur
(page 3–1007) effect for the whole scene. This is
different f rom object motion blur (page 3–981),
which creates motion blur for individual objects
in the scene.
Scenes created with previous versions of 3ds Max
that use both Object Motion Blur and Scene
Motion Blur may not render correctly, due to
changes to Object Motion Blur. Execute some test
frames and adjust your blur sett ings if needed.
When you render with Scene Motion Blur
activated,theRenderProgressdialogtells
you which subsample is b eing rendered. The
information appears in parentheses to the right of
the "Rendering Image" text. For example:
Duration—Sets the virtual shutter speed for motion
blur. When it’s set to 1.0, the virtual shutter is
open for the entire duration between one f rame
and the next. When it’s set to a smaller number
(for example, 0.25), the number of subdivisions
specified in the Duration Subdivision field will be
rendered within the specified portion of the frame
(inthisexample,inthefirst.25oftheduration
between one f r ame and the next).
Duration Subdivision—Determines how many
sub-frame slices are rendered within the Duration.
