Particle Flow & Motion Blur - what is the latest

[Adam H. Stewart]

I am using 3dsmax 6 ( I have 7 but haven't dared to use it on a project yet) I am using VR 1.09.03r (I have been reluctant to move to a later version as up til now things have been working alright). 3ds crashes whenever I try to render PF with motion blur - in fact I don't seem to be getting any motion blur with PF (object motion blur that is) at all even with the Scaline.
The only threads I could find on this were quite old.
Should I move to the latest version of Vray and everything will be magically solved or is there a fix from within max ?

Thanks as always.

Render only the PF, save rpf sequenze and apply rpf motion blur in combustion or AE, etc... I think this is the fastest method to add MB to particles.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. For some reason last night after I posted I tried it again - reset 3ds 6 only added PF and then assigned Vray the motion blur worked fine. I think it might have been a problem with trying to assign MB from the PF properties box.
I will also try the AE / Combustion MB as I think that is the way to go.

Thanks Again

how can you do rpf motion blur in AE?
do you need some kind of plugin?

Hello.
I think Combustion is the only app that can read RPF secuences.. for AE it has to be RLA..
might be wrong long time since I opened Ae..

wrong. AE can read RPF as well, but Motion Blur seems to be out of real RPF specs, so AE can´t aplpy it. maybe reelsmart motion blur can read it ... www.revisionfx.com
