Increasing the radius makes the problem worse (at the maximum strength of 25 pixels the artifacts in the thin bright areas is worsened).Ī smaller radius helps with the black dots around the thin bright areas, but the blotchy areas re-appear to some extent.Ĭombining denoiser with low values for all of the settings along with some clamping (direct and indirect):ġ,000 samples with no denoiser, some clamp direct and clamp indirect:Ī lot less noise on and the fireflies are lessened, but the brightness of the scene's highlights has suffered. Most of the smearing is gone, but the black artifacts on the bright areas remain. New Black artifacts have appeared around the thin and bright areas of the image.Ĭompare to 500 samples with default setting for the denoiser. Most of the noise and fireflies and are gone, but the the noise has been replaced with areas that look blotchy or smeared.

( Click on any of the images to show full screen)Ĭompare to 64 Samples with denoiser's default settings: Horribly noisy and full of fireflies, as expected: There are many causes for noise in rendering, each scene is different, and what worked in some circumstances might not work in others.īut the key thing to be aware of is that denoising will introduce new artifacts, and is certainly not a substitute for a decent number of samples.ĭepending on the kind of noise you are dealing with you might get decent results with it along with other tricks, and in some cases not using denoise at all.Ħ4 samples. The same with fireflies, where the bright spots have very different than their surrounding pixels. In this example the denoiser is creating a splotchy or smeared image: High contrast areas or with lots of variation in their values might not fare so well after denoise. It seems to work better in areas where the surfaces don't have a lot of detail, and the brightness values and colors are more homogeneous. Denoising is a great tool, but it is not a miracle button that works equally for each and every cause of render noise.
