wheel motion blur Thanks everyone for your insight and suggestions! Raffaele: In this particular case I wasn't so bothered with the aesthetics of the blur, but the wheels seemed to flicker in and out of existence, some frames the car would appear to hover, others the wheel looked extremely

Have you played with adjusting the motion steps in the renderer options?

Yep, more steps only produce a smoother error :-) On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Jack Kao jack@grapecity.com wrote: Have you played with adjusting the motion steps in the renderer options?

I have reproduced this behavior. 2013 SP1. various types of objects as parent and child. Even with both rotation and translation on one object. Manny -- try using a fairly large translation amount per frame. At low speeds it's not really noticeable. At high speeds it's glaringly evident.

Most probably the motion samples are creating an arc due to parenting. What you need to do is to check this is take the fcurves and scale them quite a bit. This will allows you to see in slo-mo the trajectory of the wheel as it moves along. If you see the undesired arcing then I would suggest

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, but there's nothing wrong with the parenting. It is related to parenting, but that's not where the problem lies. It works fine with *deformation* motion blur with the exact same center of rotation, so that proves that the problem is in how *transformation *motion
