ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for generating image data, including a memory configured to store data defining a volume having a plurality of objects and at least one viewport, a memory configured to store motion data for each of the objects, configuration data for the viewport and instructions, and a processor configured by the instructions to perform the steps of, for each of the objects a position is calculated along its motion path at an interval of a user-specified time period, wherein the interval is dependent upon the shutter length for the object; the object is then translated to this position; the objects are then rendered through the viewport to produce a sample; and when a specified plurality of samples have been rendered they are blended to generate image data wherein each object is independently motion blurred.
