[Idea] Motion Blur for GIF/Animation Export

[mattdesl]

Just saw this post where the author writes about a motion blur technique for processing GIF loops.

I think something like that could be interesting to explore; maybe built-in, or as a utility, or just as an example.

Motion blur would be awesome - I guess starting with just an example would be a good starting point 🤔

I agree that an example seems a better approach for now. And when the "External Module for utilities (randomness, geometry, etc)" takes form, it can be served as an utility.

I just implemented this in my Node sketch renderer:

Don’t have time right now to look into how it could be folded into canvas-sketch, but perhaps the work there might be useful.

Edit: Docs are here

Thanks @delucis! I made a small example here as a proof of concept. It's not bullet-proof but I may use something like this in my future sketches. :smile:
