- by adapting the angle of the opening in the so called rotary shutter of the film camera. A smaller angle will expose the light for a shorter period of time which will diminish the motion blur. See below for an example of how a rotary shutter works.
The motion blur in Maxwell Render 2.6 has been vastly improved both in terms of speed and capabilities. It is now possible to have virtually unlimited motion blur steps. Effects such as light trails during long exposures are now easy to create and a moving emitter will influence the illumination in the scene along its entire exposure time just as in the real world.
Photo camera shutter vs film camera shutter (rotary shutter)

Maxwell Render can calculate two types of motionblur: for the entire object and also for individual moving vertices of the object (deformation motionblur). As deformation motionblur needs more RAM when rendering (depending on the number of vertices the object has), and is only needed if the object actually deforms, you have the choice to activate only normal motion blur or also deformation motion blur.
