I'm working on a indoor scene in Cycles Blender 2.90 with the Nishita sky as light source coming trough the windows.
For the glass material I used Blender Guru's glass hack, but I'm sure the glass isn't the problem since I get the same noise without the windows in the scene.
I do use portals for the windows and I have even cranked the samples up to 4000, still I get a lot of noise.
I do not want to use the denoiser since I think it removes to much details and I get artifacts with this level of noise.
I would really appreciate if someone could have a look at my scene.
This is how noisy my scene look with 2000 samples (this images is 50%, look even noisier at 100%
