Time for action – using motion blur
The Motion Blur controls are pretty simple. However, they are not the same controls used for z-depth blurring. Try them out:
- Open
4909OS_11_Blender_Island_Motion_Blur.blend. - Scrub the Current Time Indicator in the Timeline Window to see the sloop move.
- Return it to frame 9.
- Press F12. Zoom in to the image and note that there is no blurring. Press Esc when you are finished looking at it.
- In the Properties panel header, select the button with the still camera on it to get the Render panel. Look down until you see the Sampled Motion Blur subpanel. Check the Sampled Motion Blur checkbox. Set the Motion Samples button to
