V-Ray denoiser plugin for Nuke WIP

Thank you Vlado and Chaos Team

[Ihno]

Wish that could be done for Natron too.
But I don't think that's going to happen.

[eligiusz]

When is the release date ?

[vfxronin]

Natron has potential but its missing a lot to get anything like this to be implemented in there. the dev team is foucesd on Locking down the 2d engine and stabilising the code. it would be a long way till they introduce alternative rendering method to get even the denosier in there.

[Sbrusse]

Could this ever make it in a After effects plugin?

[flat]

Fusion is wish.
It is free.

[vlado]

It is free.

Our developers' time is not free though Let's see how things go with the Nuke version first.

Best regards,
Vlado

Hello Vlado,

would it already be possibly to receive a version?
even if the plugin is still in the beta stage.

Kind regards
Alex

[sharktacos]

I do not see this posted currently on http://help.chaosgroup.com/vray/misc/
When will this be made available? Looks fantastic.

[vlado]

There's a bit more work to be done before it's ready for public eyes...

Best regards,

Hello Vlado,
we are currently testing the denoiser in vray 3.4.
I made some test with Lele's script and it work like a charm !

Now I'm trying to work with the nuke plug in, more easy to work with.

It's working directly in Nuke 10.0v4 in "workstation mode", but it always do a runtime error when used in "render mode".
It happen on the same machine.

We are using Deadline 8 to send our job.

Best regards.

[vlado]

Can you tell me which version of the denoiser plugin you are using? Or the date of the DLL?

Best regards,
Vlado

Any clue ?


Best regards.

hey.
from my perspective it look like a channel bug of some sort.
hace you tried testing alterntive renders on the box to see if the same bug happens? or is it only that render and that frame on that box?
dose it happen locally?
dose the box have a good GPU?

[Neilg]

Fusion is wish.
It is free.

The free version doesnt support plugins, so if there was the vray denoiser available you'd have to start paying for fusion.

[georgi.dunchev]

@stilgarna
I managed to reproduce the problem and it seems to happen when frame_blend is set (not 0) and rendering without GUI.
We'll see to cleaning up the warnings and fixing the issue.

Could you confirm if your setup works when frame_blend is 0?

Thanks!
