Thanks Andrew, that sounds like it would work pretty well.
I'll try a test on a simple object.

Subject: [Carrara] Re: motion blur
I did this sort of thing in 3D Studio Max when I was in school for
animation. In Max, you simply create a deformation lattice and
stretch the heck out of it. When a model enters the lattice area it
would automatically sretch out whatever portion that is in the lattice
to the other end. This made for easy "entering" warp speed effects.
Carrara doesn't have lattice deformers. However, you could do
something similar on a model per model basis by using the morphing
tools. Since the tools with consectivly add the morph movements to
another move, you can have a list of targets that one by one goes to
100% and where each target stetches the model in a front to back
pattern. What I mean is that the first morph target (BTW the target
area is the whole mesh) only moves a few front-most vertexes. a
middle target will stretch about half of the model and the other half
is left normal. The last stretches the whole model.
If you applied a slight motion blur to this action, you will generate
a more believable high speed warping. You wouldn't have to stress
yourself over the motion blur settings as that this is a secondary
effect to this sort of animation.
Hope you have the best of luck,
