Motion Blur

In the meantime, I noticed that my early tests of the fly movement don't have any motion blur. Especially when the wings are flapping.

Therefore I decided to make a motion blur test.

To make this process as quick as possible I created a motion vector render layer and used it in Nuke to create motion blur.

I played around with different values of the blur and it's there except the wings.

I think the problem is because the wings are to far apart between every frame.

So I decided to make a motion blur in Maya.

It took four times longer than a regular render, but the result was good.

Then I did a test on the final scene and see how long are the render times.

Rendering on my machine was definitely too long and the whole 30 second animation wouldn't render in time for the deadline.

I have two options to speed up the render times. Use the render farm or change the light setting.
