Hi guys,
Just added this paragraph to my "How to get rid of V-Ray blotches and splotches" article at www.metinseven.com:
An alternative way to remove V-Ray noise from your imagery:
Purchase a so-called denoiser (usually affordable) and use it to effectively filter low frequency noise (subtle large blotches), mid frequency noise and/or high frequency noise (fine grainy noise) from your imagery. Photoshop CS 2 and subsequent Photoshop versions offer a native noise reduction filter, but the best denoiser I know is Neat Image - www.neatimage.com. It comes with a Photoshop plug-in, so you can access Neat Image as a Photoshop filter. Experiment with the various settings until you've got an effective noise reduction result that does not sacrifice image details. Utilizing this approach you can considerably reduce rendering times using lower render settings and then relatively easily post-process the image to smoothness using a qualified denoiser. It might save your ass when the deadline monster is heavily breathing in your neck.
