- In my reading about animation, it has been mentioned that animation without
- motion blur creates temporal aliasing. I have seen this effect during hand-held
- shots on TV sports, where they use super-high-speed "shutter" speeds to
- eliminate blur in slo-mo. I have not really had a chance to examine good-
- quality animation to look for similar effects.
-
- RenderMan is capable of motion blur, and Pixar uses it extensively in their
- animations. Do other off-the-shelf packages provide motion blur? Are there
- tricks that minimize temporal aliasing? (I use Infini-D on my Mac, and it does
- not provide motion blur, for example.)
