Lightwave: Motion blur not doing what I want

Hi guys. Im trying to get a motion blur effect for fast moving HV sprites. The normal way LW renders is an even spread making the image just an even blur from left to right.

The effect I want is more of a ghosting effect. I want to see the HV sprite as normal but with a ghost trail behind it.

I've tried google but i'm not exactly sure what to look for, what its called. Can anyone help?

Thanks

    vector blur is what you want, it's a plugin you need to activate.

    Thanks for your response.

    I have tried vector blur on both Vector and Blur settings, neither affects volumetrics. I also read somewhere that it does not support volumetrics. I'm still looking around.

    I've read this: Using Vector Motion Blur - Tutorials - LightWave 3DAR

    Just remembered this is the tut that says vector blur doesnt work for volumetrics.

    That was one of the ones I was talking about. But there was another one.(probably wasn't Newteks)

    well if you want a 'ghost trail behind it' then motion blur isn't what you want
