Are you sure? Remember, there are two locations for this to be enabled, one is the final render (the drop down list for Denoising, which used to be the only place to set Denoising, and is not on by default); the other is Denoise during render which should be on by default (assuming you have a GPU that supports it of course), and that’s in the Performance tab in the render settings (see image in the blog, 3D Rendering Blog for ArchDesign, ArchViz, Media & Entertainment | Chaos)
Hey Tom, yes i’m sure.The one under the performance tab is not “on” by default.Also Nvidia Denoiser didn’t install by default.
I had to choose custom and install it manually.
I have a GTX 1070 btw.
I used nvidia denoiser for the first time in interior shots. It’s a real life saver cause it saved me tons of render time. It’s really handy when you are trying to nail the lightning and doing a lot of little tweaks.
