motion blur on nested 3D cube?
Hi all,
I’ve got a simple 3D cube I made in AE7, which I’ve parented to a null, so I can animate cubes rotation, etc. Jusr noticed though that when I apply motion blur it blurs all the layers separately, rather than the cube as a whole (i.e: you can now see gaps between each plane)
I’ve tried pre-comping the cube and parenting that before animating the null, but it’s still doing it! I’ve tried all combi’s of collapse trans, etc but still no joy.
Is there any way round this?
Thanks.

i’ve had that happen too, i ended up just living with it (i may have reduced the shutter angle to minimize the effect).
depending on your cube move, you may be able to fake motion blur with the motion blur effect. echo (and potentially frame blending) could give you multiple frames as the cube rotates to blend together. combine that with a bit of a directional blur to soften the edges and that might work.
reelsmart motion blur from re:vision would help too.

I don’t know that this will solve your problem, but I’m curious as to the outcome anyway.
Maybe try changing the blending mode of the layers that make up the cube to Alpha Add? Again, not sure if that will solve it, but its my best guess =)

No, no joy I’m afraid. Thanks for the suggestions though. Seems a bit rubbish this!…I’m sure I accidently made it work yesterday by pre-comping it on an already animated null, but then when I went back to set it up from scratch it wouldn’t work!!??!
Any other thoughts guys?

Pre-compose and use CC force motion blur.

Excellent! Cheers for that. So does that plugin properly determine the blur based on the motion of the layer, just like normal mo-blur?
