hi ADSK must update their documentaion, adding Normal & Albedo Aovs that was an old workflow when they introduce noice for the first time! theses 02 aovs (Normal & Albedo) was remplaced by a cingle check box: "Output Denoising AOVS" So you do not need to add any aov for denoising. Only check Output Denoising AOVS in Arnold Render Setting, that's all! you can view N_noice and denoise_albedo_noice in Nuke for example Hope this help!
Thank you, nice to get some info on your decision making process, that is so often missing in those tutorials where they don't talk about WHY I was shocked to hear how long this takes per frame! For now I'm using GPU renderer + OPTIX imager, and then 'remove grain' filter in after effects, its not perfect, but what I've realised is for the CGI product marketing videos that I make, they go online and get heavy H264 or similar compression, which looks like the OPTIX compression anyway! so there is no point striving for a super high quality master file well, gonna try this and see how it goes!! thank you
There is a lot of conflicting information on "Output Denoising AOVs". The Arnold manual says that checkmarking the box "Output Denoising Aovs" is all that is needed. Other users claim that is not enough, and that all aovs need a second output driver set to "variance" I spent about a month figure it out and I am still left with doubts... Do you know the truth? HELP, thank you.
Same here lol, I think most of my frustration was centered around getting it to work with motion blur. For the most part the Arnold documentation is amazing but they leave out a lot of nuances and they don't always update it after a patch.
