Someone please explain or post a link on how to create smooth light trails from moving cars in night shots.
Thanks.
erm…definately the wrong section. and as you post here i assume you didnt request access to the forums for your client account. You should do so…

:lol:
If he didn’t have access he couldn’t post in Images either…
You should probably post here http://www.chaosgroup.com/forum/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=2
I was kind of wondering if he meant in 3d or in photography!
I would say the Ky_Trail render effect plugin is a great way to go too.
thanks…I’ll work on some stuff in Max and post the results in a day or 2.
It’s definitely worth doing this in post if you’re workin on a still - the only way to do this in vray is to have an object move extremely quickly across the image and have a very bright light source attached to it. Even having spherical vray lights will work well. Be warned though if you have extremely fast objects you’ll need to have a lot of motion blur steps to get a clean result - thanksfully you can change blur steps on a per object basis using the right click menu vray properties. Also the more steps you put in, the more accurate and generally brighter the object gets. Here’s a sphere with a vraylight material applied animated over one frame:
