Hi im making a few tests of fast moving car along a road and can get most motion blur techniques to blur everything acceptably apart from the wheels. The techniques I have tried so far are Mentalray No deformation, mr full deformation, mip_motionblur. Mentalray full deformation gives best results on wheels but takes way to long and for the amount of frames I want to render and it tens to flatten the reflection properties of the material to much.
How do you guys go about achieving photoreal motion blur for this type of shot without it looking nasty?

Hi im trying to figure out what passes I need to render out of my 3d app to create and composite realistic smoke into a rendered animation im making. Im not thinking of the basic beauty and alpha channel, im thinking passes that will give me full control over the look of the smoke in post. I have been watching some Digital domain VFX breakdowns and it seems they are rendering out what looks like RGB passes, motion vectors and probably many more advanced data type passes to give the compostiers full control over the look of the smoke in there compositing app.
When looking at various VFX breakdowns it seems that hardly any FX passes have beauty type renders, is this observation true? are most FX passes mainly data based? It would be great to get some feedback on this..

Hi there.

My name is Firman Prasetia,*I am a Mutimedia student in Limkokwing University Malaysia.
I have an assignment for my Research Methodology subject. My topic is "Motion Graphics and Visual Effects stand on The First Row recently in Advertisement".

I have some question that I hope u will feel free to answer it.

What do you think about the visual effects in advertisement (commercials), is it necessary to add visual effects nowadays in commercials? why?

Is the motion graphics / visual effects in commercial could deliver the message better to the audience?

When agency develop the idea, and want to put visual effects into it, do they discuss with the post production house about what kind of visual effects, or each agency have their own visual effects department?

How about the process of idea development, from the raw idea that agency get (from the client) into become the final idea?

Do you know what kind of famous softwares that industry use to develop visual effects for TVC?

could you explain a bit of the process until become the final outcome?

Lastly, I need to say thank you.
Cheers
