Higher values are smoother, but might lose detail and are slower. I used to think Cycles only struggled when lighting was low, so I was surprised when I first switched from Eevee to see how it would look. Size of the image area that is used to denoise a pixel. Phoronix: Blender 2.81 To Feature Intel Open Image Denoise & Eevee Renderer Improvements Blender 2.80 made its hugely anticipated debut just under one month ago while already Blender 2.81 is looking interesting and will hopefully be out in November. So I suspect I'm doing something else to create this noise beyond just being stingy with compute power: I've tried samples up to 512, and there was virtually no difference from the results I got with 256 samples.

These are my cycles settings, which are set to default except for indirect clamp being set to 10 as part of my own troubleshooting.

a shot that looks like someone smeared my camera lens with a potato. This is a portion of the shot rendered in Cycles without denoising for reference:Īnd this is the full frame with denoising creating what you expect.
#Blender 2.81 denoise update#
This is the much anticipated update of the Blender 2. There are 3 point lights on the ceiling providing plenty of direct and indirect light, so shadows are soft and mostly diffused, and in most cases there are very few shadows due to the generous slather of light being dumped into the shot from 6 point lights on the ceiling. Today the Blender Foundation released the latest stable version of Blender, 2.81. EEVEE After making its debut in Blender 2.80, the real-time render engine got major optimizations and new features in this release. The OptiX backend was contributed by NVIDIA. I have a simple scene with a room and some objects, some with glossy shaders. Blender 2.81 NVIDIA RTX Support Cycles now has experimental support for rendering with hardware-accelerated raytracing on NVIDIA RTX graphics cards. I realise so many people have asked this question so many times, but I just can't see what I'm doing wrong here.
