Adaptivity/Denoising rendering playground

[Noah45]

My tests...
1°  5 min without any trick..
2°  6 min adaptivity on default setting
3°  6 min adaptivity on and  full denoise on 0.9
4°  24 min without any trick.. 201 pass

6 min/ 24 min difference. 4X better rendering?

Nope, rendering is the same (if you don't use adaptivity, that is), it's only does denoising (bluring/smudging) pass on top.

Here is a short test.
Motion Blur (camera + geometry) + Depth of Field
Render time = 2 minutes






With heavy MB and DOF, which is obvious, adaptivity has a very low, almost neglegible impact.

Using denoise you can have similar (but not identical) result if you compute the image for 24 minutes, but for me this is not a point.. denoiser can resolve, with adaptivity, that part of image with heavy noise.

20 min renderings with (top to bottom): adaptivity only, denoising with radius 0,5



10 min renderings with (top to bottom): adaptivity only, adaptivity + denoising with radius 0,5

hi there,

i have found that the aa mode plays kinda strong role on the outcome of denoise feature - when aa is off it does not work?! can anyone confirm nthis?

greetings

What do you mean by "aa mode"?

Scene that gave me the creeps is no longer the problem.

150 pases no adaptivity no denoising




150 pases adaptivity denoising

Look like it's proved :- ) Looks great.

Anybody test it on animation ? Does it create some flicking artifacts ?

I rendered two short animations with adaptivity and denoising - didn't notice anything wrong.

I will render 10s of this tesla animation tomorrow. As soon as i will instal DB to the rendernodes.

this is my screen, where is the adaptivity option to enable and disable?

Thanks!

hi guys,
with adaptivity and denoising, when I click stop the rendering progress it can't be stopped immediately just like usual ... I have to wait for few minutes and for big 4k px image it needs about more than 20 minutes to stop. my CPU is i7-4770.
do you guys experience this? is it a normal thing? if it is true, I think it would be better if after click stop there is a note pop out explain about denoising progress is starting. it makes the user know what's happening
