NVIDIA Denoiser

[tony_morev]

Can't figure out how to get the new de-noiser to work.
I use unpack and place all the plugins in the shared network folders. The path to all DLLs is added via windows environment path.

Corona throws the "failed to initialize" error, Missing optix.51.dll

where does Corona expect to find optix dlls?

thanks!

with no changes on my part

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but has anyone noticed that the denoiser, when used in interactive rendering, tends to washout a lot of the detail, almost as if the denoising is too strong? It provides a fast result, which I guess could be argued is the main point of it—not whether it produces a quality image or not.

I'm using a P2000 GPU.

for sure!
plus i see a lot of JPG compression like artifacts produced

Which is why the High Quality denoiser is still there :)
