Denoised light passes?

[stefano-dear]

Hello bepeg4d!

So I've been testing this feature on Octane 2024.1-[R3] but somehow I still can't denoise light passes. Is there perhaps any other setting I might be missing? Thank you!

EDIT: Solved it via Open Image Denoise node! Works perfectly!

Hi,

I can't in any way get the Light ID with denoiser, how do you apply in detail?
How should I apply the Open Image Denoise node?

Thanks!

Hi Stefano,

I've posted the example scene here:
viewtopic.php?p=433908#p433908

let me know if something is still unclear.

ciao,

But why is it so complicated and not a simple tick on the settings?
I tried but it doesen't work, maybe because I render with Aces profile?

You need to add the Tonemapping on top of the denoised AOVs, also ACES Tonemapping.

It needs to be done in Compositor so it is a bit more complex to set up, but it should be more easy in future, the devs are working on it.

Could you show me how I can integrate ACES Tonemapping?

Thanks a lot!

Beppe implied a universal principle: "display conforming" (colloquially referred as "Tonemapping" is invariably applied "last" in the signal chain (at the exception of edge cases such as dithering). Further reading on post-production fundamentals and Octane "color management".
