ive been looking through the XSI documentation but im still not sure if what i want to do is possible, it's should be quite simple, here goes:
a: store an objects f-curve values for the keyframes which come before and after the current keyframe, into some temp buffer.
b: set these keyframes (the ones either side of the current keyframe) to be the same as the current keyframe.
c: when the animation moves onto the next keyframe, the values from the buffer are used to set them back to their original value.
d: repeat a-c.
what im basically trying to do is fool the camera into thinking that it hasn't moved, so that it doesn't render motion blur which would come from a fast moving camera/
this would obviously be a very tedious task to do manually, as it means you have to render a frame, then go back into the UI, change the camera f-curve accordingly, then render the next frame. if you have 100+ frames, its' not a nice thing! (it took me over an hour for a 60 frame animation!!)
if anyone could shed any light on how to do this with a script i would be eternally gratefull.
i see the confusion. no, the blur cant be turned off, well, not for the technnique i had in mind when i posted this many moons ago!!
this was for an idea on how to improve the bullet time like effect.. i needed to keep motion blur on for the characters movements blur, but didnt want any blur which would come from moving the camera quickly around the model. essentially i wanted the camera to be still at each frame, and this was a way into fooling the software into thinking it was, without having ro mess about with multiple cameras/renders and post production work.
anyway, this is old news now. i habv seen the light and am adopting a slightly different (easier!) method (discussed in the recent bullet time thread)
BTW is it possible to do what i asked....anyone. ahh well, guess i'll have to wait another few months before another reply comes this way. what is it with this forum..no one ever seems to come here, it's like the anti forum or something!!
sorry, im waffling, its early and ive had no sleep..it's actually getting light now!!
