I wanted to apply the D-Noise filter to an animation and I suppose there must be a way to apply it as each still is rendered but I couldn't find it and had to start my render to meet a deadline. My stills are pretty noisy as I am using emission so would be great if there is some way to apply it to a folder.

I'm sure there is a way in Python but I cannot really do anything at all in Python so please any other way.

  • $\begingroup$ @RayMairlot They likely mean Grant Wilk's add-on (remingtongraphics.net/tools/d-noise) to use Nvidia's OptiX denoiser. $\endgroup$ – Robert Gützkow♦ Sep 8 '19 at 16:34
  • $\begingroup$ Did you have a scene for that animation? If you don't provide extra information to OptiX, then it won't work: D-NOISE for plane $\endgroup$ – HikariTW Sep 9 '19 at 5:52

So it just turns out that if you render to stills and then use the Blender video sequencer to run those stills together into a video file you can just enable D-Noise at the bottom of the view 'Layer tab' - it slows things down a fair bit but it works a treat.

    $\begingroup$ But... Optix is designed for stills. The output is different from frame to frame and can lead into glitches so I'd say unusable for hq animations. $\endgroup$ – brockmann Feb 17 '20 at 9:58

    $\begingroup$ Video denoisers seem to be pretty good at removing the remaining low frequency noise but can leave slight trailing artifacts depending on the settings and algorithm used. $\endgroup$ – HISEROD Feb 15 at 22:40
