Can you guys recommend a setting for reprojection that
results in the least amount of blur for the projected images?

While camera mapping a sequence is quite easy, turning off
the filtering (resulting in a washy, blurred image) seems hard?

Last time I tried it (on a fast moving cell-phone spot), the
results where as if I had rendered to fields, thrown away
half of them, gaussian blurred by one pixel, then reprojected...

The only thing left to completely kill the workaround would
have been a mR [autocontrast/autolevels operation on source]
optimization impossible to turn off. Even without that, subjective
loss of sharpness due to sourceimage filtering seemed unacceptable.

Cheers

Did it work for you in 6.02? Reason I ask is I have put off installing 6.5 here because I am in mid-production, and if MV are bust I certainly won't go there anytime soon. Oh, and it works fine for me in 6.02.

hi everyone...

[Rant_start]
so we're giving 6.5 a chance here now...first thing i try is motionblur. motionvectors dont seem to work properly, i always get some offset in my motionvector pass in comparison to the beauty pass, even if i set shutter to "end on frame". if i set speed to 0 it works but i dont get any vectors...great. how am i supposed to use these settings?? its completely confusing that you have a shutter speed in the renderer and some dubios shutter-open-close parameters in the scene...why is motionblur always a pain in xsi?? for many versions its just constantly broken and unusable at times and one always has to fight it....dont people use motionblur?? back to reprojecting then...
