what's the best way to do a motion blur? Specifically on a basketball.....Can I do it in poser or do i need to do it elsewhere?

Depends on the Poser version. If it's Poser 5 or higher, motion blur can be done.

There are two ways, called 2D motion blur and 3D motion blur. 2D motion blur works only on rendered animations, 3D motion blur can also be used in stills.

If you want to make a still with a motion blurred basketball, here's how to do it:

• create your scene;
• move the basketball in frame 2 to another position. In fact, you have an animation now.
• render with Firefly and 3D blur enabled. You can even play with the shutter times of the camera.

You could do it in Poser, set up a two frame animation, goto the second frame, move the ball to where you want it. In the render settings, go to make movie, choose image files as output type, set render settings to Firefly/P4 whichever you are using, and enable 2d motion blur. Render frame 2 and you should get your image with a motion blurred ball.

Or, render your picture, go to your image editor, select the ball and apply a motion blur there.

VERY COOL, THANKS
