# Blurring a Single Object

You can apply motion blur to an object rather than to the entire scene. To use the per object motion blur, you must apply Motion Blur globally, and then disable motion blur per object.

NoteThe motion blur curve in the Action Setup menu is global. It cannot be set per node. When motion blur is enabled, all surfaces have the same blur characteristics but not necessarily the same animation.

To blur a single object:

1. Enable Motion Blur in the Action Setup menu.

   This activates a global motion blur applied to everything within the scene.

2. Disable motion blur per object (for example, in the surface, axis or light menu) to exclude objects from the global motion blur.
