I would also like to know!

Yeah, for denoiser if there was some kind of pixel brightness threshold slider, where you could set a boundary between what constitutes dark and light pixels, and then you could separately tweak denoise levels, say to leave some noise on brighter pixels and reduce all the noise on darker, that would be incredible. You could simultaneously smooth shadows and preserve details.

As it stands right now you can 'kind of' do that by playing around with with Hot Pixel removal in Imager settings, but not really...
And the denoiser full blast, like I said, blurs the brighter image details in addition to removing noise.
Because, it could be so much more awesome with separate pixel brightness denoiser channels.

Or, is there a way to separate dark and bright noise, or even just for bright and dark pixels, through render passes somehow?

I'll note it down. I can try to get two blend sliders one for dark and another for bright pixels in the denoiser settings. But due to our other priority task, I might not able to start on this any time soon.

So awesome, THX!

[haze]

so any news on the upcoming xb4 release? ;)

I'm sorry I can't be specific, but we are now talking days, not weeks.

[mykola1985]

AMAZING!!! Thank you!

Would be nice to have OSL atmospheric system like in the terragen 4 Cloud Fractal Shader https://youtu.be/uDBngTeBrr4?t=1m19s

And it is possible to do I think. just noise with elevation, coverage, roughness, animation bound to infinity plane

[Renart]

True!
But I don't think Octane's OSL is supporting 3D Noise at the moment..

So many great thing can be done with OSL. It would be nice to create a library of script in the LiveDB

[SparkieShock]

So if one has a license for Octane v3 can one try this new version? There doesn't seem to be an option to purchase any different license at the moment. Wouldn't mind trying it out and seeing how this new version works.

REALLY hope you guys are working on a plugin for us DAZ users with the V4. (preferably one where the motion blur works )
