Using motion blur

In real life, when we take a photograph, that image doesn't represent an instant of time. The time it takes to take a photograph is defined by the exposure's setting, and in most of the situations, the exposure is enough to create a sharp image. However, when we have objects moving or a longer exposure, this creates some blurred artifacts and these artifacts are what we call motion blur. We can apply the same effect in Lumion while creating an animation or a camera path, and this recipe will show us how.

Getting ready

It is essential that you have at least a small clip to apply this effect; although, you can apply the same effect in the Photo mode.

How to do it…

With the Movie mode open, perform the following steps:

1. Select a clip and add a new effect using the New effect button.
2. Open the Camera tab and click on the Motion blur effect.
3. An effect as simple as this is impossible because you only have one setting to adjust, that is, Motion blur.
4. To see this effect...
