How to simulate longer exposure?

What should I do to achieve long exposure effect in my render stills/animation?

I guess I should add more color bleed, translucency, add more light while lowering exposure control to avoid too bright surfaces...

 

Any specific techniques, tips or tricks?

It's for a mall interior.... so it has to look fancy, you know ;)

BTW, I'm using ADT4 with VizRender (basically, VIZ engine without modelling capabilities)

Hi Kragic,

 

Interesting question. Although, I'm not sure if this is the effect you are after: try copying your layer, add gaussion blur and changing blending mode to screen mode in ps.

Thanks, everybody!

 

David,

forgive me for my ignorance (I'm still learning) but what exactly are HDR images??

 

nisus,

your advice helped a lot, tried it, and although it isn't exactly what I wanted, it's definately step in the right direction... I'll keep on tweaking... right now my stills look more like early 80s music videos than longer exposed photos! :D

Hi Kragic,

 

Experiment with other types of blur too: radial, motion, etc.

 

Screen multiple times and do level or curve corrections on each layer before blurring... This way several highlights can have different amounts or kinds of blur.

 

Maybe search the net for tutorials and paste an url here too)
