Looks like I missed the upgrade path from R15. Story of my life. Have to pay full freight.

Thanks for the report Steve. I appreciate the help.

I owned a copy of Electric Image! I actually started out with Infini-D — those were the days. We had to rent a bunch of computers to make our deadlines. … and digital video was like voodoo.

…we also had a pretty good Cinema render farm back in the day. I’ve had to let all those licenses lapse to keep the overheard down. Good thing computers are so much faster now.

Not sure I can justify the $149.95 for the ReelSmart Motion Blur Pro plug-in for this project. The tutorial looks formidable though…

Steve, this looks like the way to go. I tried the Physical Renderer and it is indeed slow as you warned.

I’ve got to jump on to other things now, so I wont have time to try the multipass render until next week, but I will let you know how it all ends up.

Has Maxon resolved the Vector Motion Blur issues in the new version of Cinema 4D? Might be time to upgrade…

Thanks again,
Eric

Thanks Steve, yes I just discovered that when my star product comes to a standstill, the transparency changes radically. I will try the physical renderer as you suggested.

Thanks again for taking time to respond.

Jim, thank you so much for taking the time to post the pic. It really helped. It seems to me that the earlier documentation for Cinema 4D was a lot more helpful with that kind of visual reference. At least for us dummies ????

Thanks Adam. That helps even if it is not what I wanted to hear. At least I will not keep searching for that solution.

Jonathan,

I discovered that this plug only works with 8 bit color depth. My CS 4 SGI plug did 16 bit. I guess I’ll have to save as a TIFF and open the doc in CS 4 to save as a 16 bit SGI.

I hate it when they break something in new software.

Thanks for you time.

OK, I’ve tried all that on several computers and still no joy.

Even bought a brand new iMac with the latest OS.

SGI is not available as a format to save to. Grr

Thanks for the help anyway.

I’d also like to do 10 bit log conversion to Cineon like in After Effects.

Odd. I’m running OSX 10.6.8 on this macbook pro… Wonder what’s up?

I just tried re-installing the plug and still no joy.
