Meshes

RealFlow | Cinema 4D meshes carry velocity information which can be read by a render engine. Under Mesh > Mesh you will find a parameter ("Motion Blur Strength") to control this effect:

 

 

To render out meshes with motion blur you can use Cinema 4D's physical render engine, or any other enabled renderer. With Cinema 4D's standard renderer you have to activate sub-frame motion blur:

  • Open Cinema 4D's Render > Edit Render Settings...
  • Click on Effect... > Sub-Frame Motion Blur
  • Adjust the number of sample frames

 

Particles

Particles cannot be rendered by default, and they always need an object attached (see → "Particle Rendering"). The particles' velocity information is transferred to the object and affects motion blur. Currently it is not possible to control motion blur strength in conjunction with particles.

Thinking Particles

RealFlow | Cinema 4D's particles can be turned into → Thinking Particles under Fluid > Particles. These converted particles contain the original velocity information for motion blur effects:
