Long exposure of the night sky

I’ve animated the new night sky latitude and longitude, but the long exposure (motion blur) doesn’t work.

Didn’t anyone try this in the beta?

If you are willing to create star trails, this is not possible yet.

That’s a shame. Star trails are essential for dramatic starry sky effects.
I look forward to future motion blur support.

It’s in the idea portal. You can vote for it. It’s not going to be easy, so we need to see first the demand for such an effect.

Thank you for posting on the Idea Portal. I appreciate your kindness.:slight_smile:
(Of course I voted.)

Would it work with multipass motion blur? Or you could always do the old poor man’s motion blur we used to do back when software didn’t have motion blur… slow your animation down to 1/10th (or any 1/n) speed, render 10 (or n) times more frames and average them together in post such that each frame is the average of 10 (or n) frames

Obviously star trails would take a large n. :o
