I see that the RGB gets progressively denoised (talking RT GPU right now) on its own element, but can’t see the same for Reflection.

It will use those elements for better denoising and will compose the result into the denoised RGB pass internally. For now it’s **not** possible to see the actual denoised elements.

Thanks for the great service pack! This point alone was the reason for me to install it instantly. No changes to the lights in RT are blazing fast! (\*) V-Ray RT: Moving a light during ActiveShade causes two light re-exports; Short question regarding the procedural textures in the bump slots for RT: Right now there is only the noise texture supported, right? Are the other ones coming in the next releases? (BerconNoise, Cellular, Smoke, Speckle etc.) ---

> [@PC Maintenance](https://forums.chaos.com/t/pc-maintenance/51129/13): > > I would love to see some examples if you have time to post 🙂 > > Best regards, > Vlado So here is a shot I did some years ago for the Costco company. I have always called it the **“poster child for noise”** , what with all the space for light to bounce all around the inside of the boxes against and through glossy reflective, glossy refractive, and semi-transparent multi-layered shampoo bottles. The noise in the shot is more than obvious and pretty much everywhere. Rendering normally I would have to crank everything up pretty high to resolve the noise and on my current machine (Intel 5960x) the final render took around **27 minutes.** This shot as you can see, using V-Ray defaults, took a paltry **3:48.** So now here is the same shot - **Denoised!** Looks pretty dang good, and what - at 1/7 of the rendering time? Wow. Sure, if you zoom in there are artifacts, so for a final I would crank sampling up a bit, but the potential here for saving a **whole lot of time** is obvious. Heck, by the time you do all your (very fast!) itinerant drafts you’ll have the perfect settings down and away you go for the deliverable. Just **fantastic** stuff… -Alan ![CostcoShampooPallet Render.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/7/7/77d7fbcc5587b16298b485e5691a6a7fc38dfa9b.jpeg) ![CostcoShampooPalletRender _DENOISED.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/2X/8/875539ab296a0081470a84eed1a06955ac205e3a.jpeg) ---

Hey, it took me 3 minutes to render, including Denoiser time, a job at 2,000 HDTV. I know you want to see samples, but this one I can’t put on the forum. But needless to say, it denoised nicely!
