Attached Link: Motion Blur for Materials

That's GREAT information, Mark. Thank you for taking the time to respond in such depth. I'm a bit disappointed that maps cannot be specified to control the SSS, but I guess I can live with that. I hope it's not too much to ask, but can procedural textures in Carrara 5 be animated? I don't see any info on that in the features list. If so, can motion blur be applied to them? There aren't many programs/renderers that can effectively motion blur animated textures, especially when the object itself is not in motion, but this is a useful feature for many things. See the link above to understand what I mean. It wouldn't necessarily impact my decision on buying the software if it doesn't have this, but it would make the choice much easier if it did. :)
