super cool!

$300 Node locked license. $400 floating.

The price looks quite high but we would still pay it. Though i think the better solution would be for Otoy to implement their own version, as the research papers are online and it would be better integrated into the plugin.

If Octane doesnt address the inherent noise problems of the unbiased solution they may lose a lot of customers who will move over to Redshift, corona, or Vray which are taking noise and render times seriously

The guys from Altus say they are still in contact with Otoy but progress is slow.

Version 1.2 is now available.

At 3:17 you can see Octane in the drop down menu...

V3 alpha 2 exposes the AOVs needed for this and similar denoisers to operate correctly. If 3rd party tools are not covering this to users' satisfaction in the short term (you tell us - that is what these forums are for), then we will explore alternatives.

We made a real time GPU denoiser for Brigade a few years ago. It was designed for real time use, but could be useful for offline rendering.

Once the major V3 features are completed, we'll be able to shift focus to overall speed improvements which may prove more optimal than simple denoisers.

Thanks Goldorak! looking forward to the feature part of V3.0 being done and the polish beginning!

Thanks Goldorak. Thats really good news. We have been needing to do all sorts of shortcuts to speeding up rendering of complex interior scenes from denoisers such as neatvideo. Now we are looking at rendering less frames and using twixtor to fill in the gaps. Some are frames are 50min renders with PT and that is with a lot of optimisations already done caustic blur 1, and big fake lights.
