MaterialID Blur - Glossy Reflective Noise Prevention

[jujubee]

I had an idea - add an option/checkbox to reflective materials to make them gaussian blur post process.

I realize this is not an accurate solution, but this will help speed up animations by avoiding high subdivision values on reflective materials and add to their quality a bit.

Perhaps that could be am optional render element?

Currently, a lot of people avoid glossy reflections altogether in animations due to the extra time involved.

I agree it will be nice to have something like this into vray...

Best regards...

Wow nice. Yeah something like that. Does this work with Vray??? Also, do I need to install this on all my slaves?

You need to install this on your slave...

but I had never used it with vray sorry.

Maybe you can tell me....

this has been discussed already. This plugin is not bad, but it does not work in certain conditions: motionblurred objects, objects behind transparent/refractive objects.
However some sort of fake blur, that works with animation (not reflection interpolation) would be nice.
Even MR now has reflection interpolation, which works with animations.

I can't get the plugin to work - at least it doesn't in the VFB when enabled under effects with effects checked on in the common render tab.

this is one of the limitations, since its a post process effect it wont work with vray vfb.
