Blurred car lights at night

[jeff_3447]

Does anyone have any suggestions or a tutorial on how to add car lights at night streaking by. The same as using a slow shutter speed. I use max and vray and not sure if its easier to do there or in post production. Thanks for your suggestions.

Definately easier to do in post. There's some good light streak tutorials on videocopilot.net that are meant for after effects which defiantely apply and would be similar to achieve in photoshop.

Try to use Color Dodge blending mode. Works good for me.
