D-NOISE is a next-gen AI denoising platform that rapidly accelerates the process of rendering noise-free images in Blender.

Note that as of Blender 2.92, OptiX supports ambient occlusion and bevels, so the list of what the new API doesn’t support is becoming seriously thin. Let’s see how the Classroom project behaves: The Classroom project has historically scaled a little differently from the BMW one, and that tradition has been upheld with 2.92.

Powered by NVIDIA®'s new OptiX™ AI-Accelerated Denoiser, D-NOISE can produce beautiful noiseless images in just seconds.
  1. Blender 2.81 supports Nvidia OptiX. It uses the RT cores in the RTX20 seris cards, to accelerate raytraced rendering. With Blender 2.81 it is supported and can accelerate rendering with cycles.
  2. However in Blender 2.83 and above there is a command you can run to allow the use of GTX GPUs so you can render with your RTX 2070 Super and any other Nvidia GPU. The command is 'CYCLESOPTIXTEST=1' and you need to add it to your launch commends for Blender.
D-NOISE comes packaged with a handful of easy-to-use settings so you can tailor the denoiser to fit your render.

Blender's stock denoiser is notorious for leaving gross blotches all over your renders.D-NOISE is trained to keep smooth surfaces smooth.
Using D-NOISE's Extra Passes feature will ensure that the AI denoiser maintains sharp and accurate textures, even in the noisiest of renders.
Using built-in HDR training, D-NOISE is significantly better at preserving luminance values than Blender's stock denoiser.
An efficiently trained AI system paired with advanced CUDA acceleration means that D-NOISE will have any render denoised in seconds.

... but don't take our word for it,

D-NOISE brings the power of AI to Blender with high-quality CUDA accelerated denoising for everyone.
D-NOISE can denoise your animations as they render! All you need to do is enableD-NOISE before you render.
D-NOISE includes an HDR trained denoiser that can provide accurate results in any lighting condition
Sometimes noiseless images can feel lifeless. Bring some of grain back with the Blend with Original feature!
No need to configure the denoiser before you render. Just click 'Quick D-NOISE' you'll have a noiseless image.
Renders aren't the only thing D-NOISE can take care of. Any image in the image editor can be denoised!
With Extra Passes, D-NOISE can maintain accurate colors and edges even in your noisiest renders!
D-NOISE handles all of its data transactions with high-quality 32-bit EXRs so that no image quality is ever lost.
See how easy it is to start managing your projects properly.

Grant's D-NOISE add-on is one of the MUST have add-ons for all Blender users.

Watching D-NOISE turn a 50 sample noisy mess into a detailed render is just beautiful to watch!

D-NOISE is an essential tool for my renders, especially for my more complex scenes.
