Yes, animated textures do blur. Sorry for not overlooking that question in your first post. In Carrara, some procedurals are animatable but not all of them. If blurring textures is one of your primary needs, there is a blur option that works in Carrara with less of a speed penalty, too. Simply selecting "Enable Motion Blur" in the scene settings, not the render settings, allows for a much faster blur solution then the render room solution described in the earlier post. Additionally, you can rotoscope video/animations as textures in Carrara so there is also the option of blurring the movement prior to importing it as a texture in Carrara in the first place. Carrara is a pretty tidy solution. :) Mark
