Problems with scatter and motionblur

[moon_active]

Hello, we are having problems getting motion blur on scatter objects when target object is animated - in this case rotates around it's axis. This is the simplified scene for illustration - the cube that's used as a base target object is rotating around it's y-axis and has motion blur, while clumps of grass that are scattered on it surface refuse to be motion blurred. We really need this to work - is there any workaround? Thanks in advance

This is a known issue that I’ve reported before. No progress though. I hope this will be fixed in vray 7.

An ̶i̶m̶p̶r̶o̶v̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶q̶u̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶ for this is already logged (internal bug-tracker id: VMAYA-12949) as Twist mentioned. Will test to check if there are workarounds.

EDIT: Actually, this seems like a bug: there is no motion blur on scattered objects when the target object is animated. Updated the log. I'm not sure if there are ways to bypass it at this point, except of course converting the scattered objects to instances (Covert to Maya instances button in the Scattering rollout) and animating them too.

Will this be addressed in vray 7?

I can't say, but I'll talk to the product manager about it. By the way, the issue reported in this thread is different than the one you reported here. I've posted there, check my answer.

Ahh thank you

Thank you both. I looked beforehand to see if someone else complained about it but couldn't find it for some reason.
I guess MASH to the rescue... But it's significantly slower with the amount of grass that we have.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for Scatter based workaround.
