Note 1: Motion blur of changing topologies is only available via V-Ray. Do not expect to have it with corona version.

Note 2: Since animated liquid is saved through Alembic files, it is only reachable through one of these methods:

1. Alembic Importer (3ds max 2016 or later)
2. V-Ray Proxy
3. Alembic Importer Extension (Should be Installed separately for 3ds max 2015 or earlier)

I provided first and second methods in separate files for V-Ray and second one for Corona Renderer. If you are using Corona along with 2015 or earlier version of 3ds Max, you must Install a Plug-In (Extension) first.

I also have added a static model which contains a fake but realistic motion blur for V-Ray. It uses just a 2-frame alembic file for creating a nice motion blur in a single photo. This can be used for realistic photography.

If you wish to have motion blur in your renderings,

• For Max 2016 and later: you can use max 2016 file that is included in the archive. It uses alembic importer for opening the archived alembic file.-For Max 2012 to 2015: Use max 2012 file. Since in earlier versions of max alembic files can not be imported directly, I used VrayProxy to import. If water mesh does not show, change proxy location manually.

Since I simulated water in NTSC frame rate (29.97 fps), you have to use a shutter speed which is double of NTSC rate (=60 s-1) in order to have a realistic motion blur. Do not forget to enable Motion Blur option in your Vray camera settings.

Note: Previews are made by using Caustics FX. If you wish to reachout the same quality:For VRay: Turn off Affect Shadows of water material and enable Caustics in Render GI tab. Otherwise, make sure Affect Shadows be enabled.For Corona: Turn on Caustics in water material and enable Caustics Solver in Render Performance tab.
