Does anyone have any tips on making bee's wings look like bees wings. I mean the appearance that they are moving super fast. I've tried motion blur but it just doesnt look right.. Any help, would be much appreciated? Thanx, Fred Nilsson

We had a helicopter animation where the rotor blades were created with a disk mapped with an opacity map of a single, blurred blade that slowly rotated–resulting in the illusionary effect you get with high-speed props. Perhaps you could create something like that for the bee's wings. That is, an object with an animated opacity map that causes transluscent flickering in the area of the bee's wings. – Jack

Fred, I suggest playing more with the motion blur settings, to get more of a "trails" effect.
