🧵 Denoisers

Has anyone got a good way of using any of these for final frames?
At low sample counts they're splotchy, blast away detail and are temporally unstable. At higher sample counts they perform no better (or worse) than traditional denoisers like neatvideo or resolve's native denoising.
What's the point?

Noise = soul
Denoise = onions

A tried and true method is rendering at double the resolution you would need and downsampling / scaling down the output.
You can also use AI upscaling afterwards but that often has the same issues as denoising.
There's a bunch of temporal denosing plugins for cycles but none work as advertised.
If you really want fast noise free renders EEVEE next in blender 4.1 alpha is already usable.
Apart from that many people export to Unreal and use that for rendering.
