Hey all -

I've been trying to get motion blur on my volumes, and have followed the directions in this post exactly:

http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&t=22128&highlight=volume+motion+blur [sidefx.com]

However, it's not working. I can open up that posted project and see it fine, however if I try to re-create it I get no results.

Here's a simple project file - a spherical volume, spinning around an axis, then a point cloud made with v calculated, and passed to a vel volume. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong here?

Thanks.

Ahhhh, ok. That makes sense. With that advice, I've been texturing non-stop for two days!

Thanks again.

Thank you!!! That is a really awesome, thoughtful response that helps me understand what's going on.

I'm still a bit confused about the material SOP applying to point, primitive or detail. If I throw down a grid and then apply a material sop to it, and set it to primitive or detail, I can see the texture fine. However, if I set it to point I don't see anything. Is a point-applied material SOP for a specific situation, separate from most texturing tasks?

Thanks.
