Create Smears and Trails with a Couple Clicks!

MotionFX is a tool for adding emphasis to motion or creating animation style smears. It take only a couple seconds to set up, and in most cases requires no manual cleanup. It has four unique modes and can be used for motion graphic-esque renders, NPR renders, and more.

Features:

Here are the current features. Note that as updates are pushed out, new features will be added!

Multiple Modes: Not only can you create smears, but there are multiple ways to do it!
