I was working on this picture, and wanted the background people to be blurred. After experimenting endlessly with focus and blur and photo-paint filters I eventually hit on the idea of using Mover Wizard and then moving a little into the animation and rendering the scene with motion blurring on, thus giving excatly the effect I was after. Comments welcome as usual, but a handy trick to get this sort of effect. best wishes Jody

That's a good trick to know, I haven't even tried any animation yet but will keep this in mind! I like your scene, her expression is great.

There is a short narrative to the image which can be found here. http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=187045

I thought this was in the manual, but I could be wrong. From the beginnings of animation with motion blur in Vue its been possible to introduce motion blur into stills. Adding even very slight movement to things in a picture can have an effect. I've done tests in the past, and even when the motion blur is not objectively visible, the quality of the image, when compared to the same image without the blur, is subjectively much more real.

Yes:-) it is in the manual, Adrien, you're right. Guitta

That explains why I never saw it, I've never read the Vue manual :-)

Well, the easiest thing to do would be to render the background separately, bring it into Photoshop as the base layer, and then blur it.

But then where's the fun in that :-) If you can't do it in Vue, I don't do it :-). That's not exactly true, but I didn't like the idea of superimposing, it almost always looks fake. Jody

If you blur the base layer, then flatten the image and apply a slight gaussian (sp?) blur to the whole thing, you can get some decent results. But you're right, it probably won't look as good as a rendered depth of field.
