The C4 Engine is capable of rendering full-scene motion blur as a post-processing effect. Motion blur in C4 is based on the concept of a velocity buffer, and it employs a sophisticated algorithm that uses information in both the velocity buffer and the structure buffer to apply the correct blur after the entire scene has been rendered. The..." current
