Artifacts

Bucket rendering with an HDRI and Adaptive dome (WIP) enabled.

It is odd... the saved PSD from PDS Manager didn't have the artifacts.

Those look like denoised fireflies.

[glorybound]

Yes, you are correct. If I isolate the VRayDenoiser layer they are there. How do I avoid this?

[Vizioen]

With a machine like yours, I wouldn't even touch denoiser.

[vjaramillo]

Glad I'm not the only one getting these.

[glorybound]

Denoiser is priceless for quick grayscale proofs. I can render a grayscale in seconds. For finals, I guess I can turn it off. I rarely use it at more than a very mild setting, anyway.

That's too bad...it was working pretty good before. I would use it to save my 4k projects when they had short deadlines.

The V-Ray denoiser has always had some issues with fireflies and isolated bright pixels and hasn't really changed much since the original implementation; I have some plans on improving it for Update 2.

It's working exactly the same as before. This specific situation has always been problematic. I have some ideas to improve it for Update 2.

Hmm...I never noticed. I love it because it gave me clean images in a set time. I know there was refraction issues with glass, but that was easily fixed by letting the rendering have more time to process.
