Hey Vlado! Hope you are having fun in sunny California! Saw your speech today at the Convention Center.
By the way, on the denoiser, I figured I leave the update frequency at 1 because 10 updates too often. However, I feel like the "worthless" part is the beginning, when you know that the denoised image is not going to be worth even looking at. Wouldn't it be appropriate to leave the first few passes out on the denoiser? For example, letting it render up to a certain noise level at which point the denoiser update frequency kicks in? Just a thought.
