![]() ![]() ![]() You can add additional layers in the Shader Tree by clicking the Add Layer option and selecting Render Outputs > Render Output from the dropdown. A default scene automatically includes a Final Color and Alpha output, which works fine for most situations. Modo offers many different render output types useful in a variety of situations, ranging from purely diagnostic to having specific compositing utility in an external application. Samples demonstrating each render output, including detailed descriptions of each are available in the specific render outputs. ![]() The Effect of the render output layer can be changed to a variety of options for different purposes. Invoking the Render command or pressing F9 when no render outputs are present and visible produces an error message. A CPU with support for at least SSE4.1 or Apple Silicon is required to run it.īoth source code and compiled builds are available.Render outputs are simply what their name describes: they are the output of a Render operation, the evaluated results of all visible layers of the Shader Tree. Open Image Denoise 1.4 is available for 64-bit Windows, Linux and macOS under an Apache 2.0 licence. Memory overheads have also been significantly reduced: filter memory consumption is down by “about 35%”, and the default maximum memory consumption is now set at 3GB. In addition, it is now possible to denoise ‘auxiliary feature images’ like albedo and normal maps. The update significantly improves the preservation of fine detail in denoised images, as you can see in the side-by-side comparison with 1.3 at the top of the story, tweeted by Intel senior director Joe Curley. OIDN 1.4: better detail preservation and lower memory consumptionĪlthough Intel has put out updates to OIDN steadily since its release, version 1.4 is by some way the biggest. The technology is now integrated into a range of DCC tools and renderers, including Blender’s Cycles render engine, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Modo, V-Ray and Unity, where it is used to denoise lightmaps. Unlike OptiX, OIDN isn’t hardware-specific: while it’s designed for Intel 64 CPUs, it supports “compatible architectures” – now including Apple Silicon processors like the new M1 chips, as well as AMD CPUs. It builds on neural network library oneDNN, meaning that like OptiX – Nvidia’s popular GPU-based denoising technology, integrated into many production renderers – it uses AI techniques to accelerate denoising. Open Image Denoise is part of Intel’s open-source oneAPI Rendering Toolkit, which also includes ray tracing kernel library Embree, ray tracing renderer OSPRay, and volumetric rendering library Open VKL. It’s designed to remove the noise generated by the Monte Carlo rendering techniques like path tracing, widely used in modern production renderers. OISN also now runs natively on Apple’s new Apple Silicon processors.Īn AI-driven, CPU-based, hardware-agnostic render denoiserįirst released in 2019, Open Image Denoise is a set of “high-performance, high-quality denoising filters for images rendered with ray tracing”. The largest update to OIDN since its release, version 1.4 improves the preservation of fine detail in denoised images, adds support for denoising albedo and normal maps, and reduces memory consumption. Intel has released Open Image Denoise (OIDN) 1.4, the latest version of its open-source CPU-based render denoising system, used in software including Blender’s Cycles renderer, Unity and V-Ray.
