What's New?
HDRI Map kindly provided by https://ctccreativestudio.com/
Motion Blur (Advanced) filter
Here are the additional features that the Motion Blur (Advanced) filter provides, above the standard Motion Blur filter:
•Curve and Tilt: The motion path can be curved in any direction. Use case: Replicating motion blur travelling around a corner in a car.
•Noise Profile: Noise can be added to the path. Use cases: Replicating the effect of road noise in the blur or to generate a creative lighting trail effect.
•Depth Image: Motion blur amount can be scaled per pixel by values from a loaded image. Use case: Paint an image to control where the map is blurred and by how much.
