v4 RC2 denoise

Fri Sep 07, 2018 1:22 pm

i hope its ok if i post this outside the official build thread:

i have the latest experimental and am interested in testing denoising, volume specifically:

PT has no effects whatsoever in the LV. i am switching A/B - no difference. in the LV the small "DeMain" button next to "Main" is not progressing while rendering. the "Noise" button does display the noise pass though.

the DL kernel only seems to denoise objects, not DOF and the background. infact the background is noisier in the normal pass.

what am i doing wrong?

Hi,
AI denoser works pretty well with volume render.
Do you mind to share an example scene to better investigate your issue?

hi beppe,

thank you. i think the issue was having the "on completion" turned on which meant i needed to wait for all the samples to be finished.
it works now very well.

Hi,
please note that the rendering is slower if On completation is disabled, since the denoising process takes time and will repeted at each sampling intervall.
My suggestion is to leave the On completation active, start with few sampling, and doble the value untill you find the minimum sapling necessary before starting denoising.
