Hi Jim!

Since version .9 the denoiser is only working if you update the pass in the passes after each IPR render.

Test StepByStep Flow
- Start maya open or create any octane scene
- Set up passes to preview denoiser output.
- Start IPR
- See there is no denoiser in the view.
- Update again the pass by changing out denoiser output and putting it back again.
- Denoise is visible
- Hit IPR again
- Denoise output is missing from render view again....


Can you look into the matter as its hard to work like this.
Thanks

Works OK for me, no difference with the 14.8: the denoised image kicks in after some time of rendering (before that the beauty image is shown in the result) or after the rendering reaches the max-samples - depending on your settings. You don't need to be changing the preview-pass back and forth for that - the denoised image appears when it's ready.
If you want the denoised result earlier than the rendering got finished, just make sure you've unset the "Denoise on completion" checkbox in the imager settings. But this mode is more resource-hungry.

Hello JimStar!

Thanks a lot for all of your great work. Any idea when this or the 4.x stable plugin will support Maya 2019?

Cheers!
