Median Filter
Removes peaks in color values from the image. Use Strength to increase or decrease the effect.
Sharpen Filter
This lter emphasizes transitions in the image. This reinforces the edges. Use Strength to increase or
decrease the effect. Try using the lter with 30% strength for stills.
Soft Filter
Each pixel is balanced with its neighbor to produce a softer transition. Use Strength to increase or
decrease the effect.
Object Motion Blur
Use scene motion blur if you want to blur shadows, reections and so on.
Object motion blur does not blur these features.
With a real-life camera, motion blur arises when an object ies past the camera at great speed
(‘object’ motion blur) or when the camera pans rapidly (‘scene’ motion blur). The advantages of object
motion blur (OMB) are that the effect is rendered quickly and there are no stroboscope effects. For
an object to have motion blur in the render, this setting must be enabled and the object must have
a Motion Blur tag.
Use the Strength value to dene the intensity of blurring for all objects. You can set values higher
than 100%!
A few limitations are associated with object motion blur. For example, only position, scale and rotation
animation can be blurred (so a beating wing animated using bones cannot have motion blur applied
to it). Also, anomalies may appear at the frame’s border and the animation may icker.
