vDenoise Command Line tool Helper (Maxscript UI)

[^Lele^]

Stan, more like between a rock and a hard place. ^^
I can't figure out how to make it work for sequences, right now.
Next iteration, though, we'll get it polished properly.

Great,
Definitely looking forward for sequences a that's our main output type that needs denoising.

Perfect workflow would be to be able to select the first image of a sequence, select in the shell and have the sequenced denoised.

Doing that through our GPU node will make this inanely easy and fast as when we force the GPU=2 it uses multithreading images on all the available GPUs (so this setting should be in reg as well)

Thanks Lele

mind you, the minimum command line is

vdenoise -inputfile="mysequence.????.exr"

for sequences, so it's entirely scriptable with deadline or similar, or simple windows batch files.

But aye, it needs a bit more love on the ease of use, as soon as the algo work settles.

was running the script, and this error appeared.

Which V-Ray version?

hi vlado,
3.40.01

[vlado]

Ok, we released 3.40.02 just recently and it contains some fixes in that regard - can you try that?

Best regards,
Vlado

[leo.surrealismo]

it worked with the new version! thanks!!

19-06-2016: Updated for 3.40.02 (sp4 hotfix), to include the -frames option to pick a subset of frames to denoise in a sequence, rationalised the interface and added ctrl+click to copy the command line to the Windows clipboard.

Find it as usual in the first post.

Hello Lele,
thank you very much for that great tool.

Do you see a possibility, using your tool, to submit a backburner job ?
So that several computers calculate the denoise task, every slave a separate frame of an animation.

Kind regards
Alex

It is possible to do with maxscript, but you may check my approach as well - http://dabarti.com/vfx/using-v-ray-d...nd-to-scripts/ .

[algato]

yes, with pleasure.
Thank you for sharing your method

Great tool, but I only get parts of the image denoised, as you can see in the picture. Any idea why?






There's a warning about two render elements missing, I can't find those.

And you're also likely missing the (somewhat less critical, as you can specify it as you did) noise level RE.
Besides the noise level, the two world-space AoVs should be fairly easy to add from any renderer.
