fumeFX motion blur stopped working in v1.1... - nickw - 07-11-2008

Hi,
I cannot get motion blur to work in v1.1 of fumeFX...
I have tested this with our project and the Example "campfire_tut_finished" scene which works in v1.0 of fumeFX.
We are using 3DStudio MAX 9 x64. on Windows XP 64, running on a BOXX PC (Dual-Core AMD Opteron 2.41Ghz) with 8GB of RAM.

I have tryed re-caching, restarting the PC, still not working.

Anybody else had this problem?
Thanks

Apologies if you've already checked all these, but I usually go thru a list of what I call the "4 settings" to get ffx mblur:

--right click on the ffx box/properties and ensure 'image motion blur' is enabled
--confirm the ffx sim was simmed with velocity channel exported: ffx box/'general' tab/'output' rollup/'exporting channels' area/'set' button
--confirm fusionworks is rendering the motion blur channel: 'rendering' pulldown/'fusion..renderer'/'create channels'/'image motion blur'
--add the motion blur rendering effect: 'rendering' pulldown/'effects'/'add' button/'motion blur'

Thanks for your help,

Like I said before, After much testing with different scenes, I have gone back to trying the included 'campfire_tut_finished.max' example file, which already has the motion blur setup applied, this scene works fine with v1.0 of FumeFX but not with v1.1....

Very odd, I think we will have to reinstall v1.0 on our PCs

Sad

Just FYI it works here 1.1 with image motion blur. (scanline)

Nick,

Did you re-check FusionWorks params ?
Also, make sure that you are exporting velocities.

I had that too - make sure your Material ID under rendering is not set to 0.

Yes Setting the Material ID under the Rendering FumeFX panel works! Big thanks for your help.
Is this a bug then, why is this set to 0 when this results in no motion blur?

Thanks

Not really sure if it's a bug or it's been designed that way!!
guess it's a question for Kresimir.
Is annoying that there is no reference to this anywhere in the help though - maybe this does suggest that it is a bug? Kresimir?


Re: fumeFX motion blur stopped working in v1.1... - sitnisati - 07-30-2008

Hello,

Actually, this was by intention, so user can put ID to 0 and effect won't be visible to IMB, glow, etc...
However, it seems that I've found a bug along the way Smile

Thanks for bringing this issue.
