Velocity render element

[Van_Denton]

Just wondering if we could get Velocity maps, Im working on a shot where a car is driving up a mountain, the camera is travelling at the same speed as the car, theres rocks in the foreground made with Fstorm scatter. Theres a smoke sim behind the car, this has to be rendered separately as there's no vdb support. I would render velocity maps in corona or scanline but I would have to convert a pretty big scatter to geometry.

So motion blur is the thing that sells this shot but can only use RSMB after the fact and without the velocity maps it just doesn't look as good as it could.

What do you think? is it possible?

Velocity render element is not supported and I can't promise I can implement it in near future. FStorm supports native motion blur. Can't it be used directly?

Hi Karba, many thanks for your reply.

I can use it but its so much better for me to add in post, if the client is not happy with the amount of blur it can be instantly tweaked and not completely re rendered. Plus having to add in additional rendered elements like the dust trails from phoenix, everything can have the same style of blur.
