Progressive refinement

In the SFM, a single frame is not a still image; it's 1/24 of a second. This means that any object in motion in the frame is in a slightly different position at the end of the frame than it was at the beginning. That motion data is stored in your session.

Progressive refinement is a rendering technique that creates motion blur, depth of field, and soft shadows by blending together slightly different versions of a frame many times. The more versions that are blended together, the higher the quality, but the longer the movie takes to render.

Note:Progressive refinement is turned off in the Motion Editor, the Graph Editor, and the work camera.
