I was excited to crack open Blender’s source code and start coding, but first I had to do my due diligence. Although I don’t quite understand how this magic works, I very much appreciate its results with grainy renders.I think I was half-asleep when I had my “holy shit” moment. It’s called D-NOISE and is available for free. I’ve grown quite fond of Grant Wilk’s AI-accelerated OptiX denoiser. D-NOISE applied during the render process D-NOISE applied after the render, without 3D scene information The loss of detail is quite remarkable, but understandable if the engine only has the grainy 2D image to work with. Here’s a comparison between a regular render with D-NOISE applied, and the same image rendered un-D-NOISEd and then processed after the fact. As I said, I virtually know nothing about how this thing works, but judging by the default Compositor setup for a regular render, let’s just say “it’s complicated” and beyond my understanding: I can only image this is because the 3D scene gives the OptiX engine a lot more information about the scene, such as depth and emission. While this process works just fine, the results are far inferior to using D-NOISE during a render. You’ll also need to choose the correct output path and file name for your sequence. Those can be found in the regular Blender Render Settings. You need to provide the image size, Frame Start and End, and the Cycles Render Engine for this to work. Or, if you’re ready to denoise the whole sequence, choose Render Animation. To get a denoised image out of Blender, simply hit Render. Notice that if you advance your timeline, the preview image in the node should change accordingly. Let’s keep it simple though and say we want to render 100 images, starting at Frame 1. For example, if you need to denoise frames 401-500 in an existing sequence, you can use 401 as the Start Frame, choose 100 as Frames, and then render frames 401-500 with the regular Blender commands.
For the Start Frame you can leave this on the default 1, but if you ever need to, you could set this to any number that corresponds to a portion of an sequence.
For Frames, set the number of frames in your image sequence. The parameters we need to set here are the Frames and the Start Frame. Since we need all other images in this sequence, we’ll need to tell the Image Node that this is in fact a sequence and then some other options will show up. We need to open our first image in the sequence using the Image Node on the left. Hit SHIFT+A, then select search and you’ll find them. The easiest way to find these nodes is by searching for them. Now add a Denoiser Node and an Image Node to the setup, then connect the yellow inputs with one another, so that the Image Node feeds into the Denoiser Node, and the Denoiser Node feeds into the Composite Node. We don’t need the Render Layers node, so click on it and press X to delete it. In a nutshell, the Composite Node is our output.
BLENDER CYCLES DENOISE MOVIE
Did you know he has his own short movie and a whole channel on YouTube now? Anyway, head straight into the Compositor Tab at the top of the Blender interface. Let’s open up a new file in Blender and – gasp – there’s no need to delete the poor default cube.
BLENDER CYCLES DENOISE HOW TO
Turns out it works, even though it does not match the results of a regular denoised render.īe that as it may, let me show you how to use Blender’s mysterious Compositor to denoise a sequence of images automatically. This was entirely my fault, and I thought I could perhaps just denoise the sequence rather than re-render it. I had an image sequence rendered on one of my nodes, and sadly my D-NOISE add-on did not kick in as expected.
