Hello,

Denoiser doesn't work in Blender. Denoiser stays stuck during the rendering. There is no denoise available in the Octane preferences (see screenshot).

I have installed the versions of Octane:
- OctaneX_for_OctaneBlender_MacOS_OctaneX.PR14-22.4-xb
- OctaneXPrime_for_OctaneServer_MacOS_OctaneX.PR14-22.4-xb

I have a Macbook pro M1 Max with MacOS Monterey Version 12.3

Do you have a solution to activate the denoise?

Thank you very much for your help
Morgan

Hi Braindealer, I found an alternative, try using the standard blender denoise node in the compositing tab ;)

Hi,
in macOS Metal, AI Denoiser is performed via CPU, not GPU, so you cannot enable it in Devices manager, but unfortunately M1 chip is completely different from previous CPUs, and does not have the necessary AVX2 instructions for performing AI Denoiser.

ciao,
Beppe
