we are having quite serious problems rendering with motion blur as well as
with displacement. it seems to be quite random so difficult to track down.
regarding displacment: a great amount of rendertiles doesnt seem to be
tesselated properly resulting in popping of displaced geometry. everything
is rendered on a single machine. sending packets larger than one frame to
the farm results in a good first frame, then bad tesselation afterwards...mb
sucks too, once turned on, objects just render black randomly...then again,
instances render buggy with mb...is there any qfe's to fix this? apart from
that, i keep loosing my custom keyboard mapping...all this with 5.01



Don't know about motion blur, but displacement set to fine / view-dependant has always given us problems, and especially in the current release.
The job we're working on at the moment we've had to switch all objects to Parametric, just to get it to render without popping.
Sorry, don't know if there's a fix.
