I didn't think about it, but it shouldn't be a problem creating a stand-alone binary. On Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 4:15 PM, François T. wrote: > Are you thinking of having denoiser as an extra binary like for Renderman ? > So it could be use with other renderer and/or outside of blender as well ? > >

Are you thinking of having denoiser as an extra binary like for Renderman ? So it could be use with other renderer and/or outside of blender as well ? 2016-03-22 15:46 GMT+01:00 Fabrizio Destro : > Thank you for your feedback. I am going to read them. > I am currently working on my proposal, all

Hi, General idea of denoisers is to blur noisy areas. Now, how to detect if the area is noisy or not? There are several approaches to this: it could be image-space variance based approach or it could be an approach based on per-pixel variance. The later one seemed to be more promising from own exp

Hi, thank you for the materials. I've just read "Path-space motion estimation [...]" and for what I've understood they use different tools to reduce the noise on the image: Decompositions, Motion estimations of reflections and other effects, Denoising, Spatial and Temporal upsampling. The first mi
