It may be worth a try if you&#8217;re not satisfied with what you&#8217;re getting by removing the fireflies and speckles via other methods.  It&#8217;s all free, bar your time.  I figure that it might cost someone new to Blender about three hours of work to get it all installed, set up and the focussed de-noising workflow pinned down for use with iRay and Superfly renders.  If you have a go, please comment on this post and let me know how it went for you. I don&#8217;t have the required NVIDIA GPU, so I can&#8217;t run it.<\/p>\n<p>If experience with A.I. GigaPixel has made you think that anything &#8220;A.I.&#8221; takes days to run, fear not. It runs quick, like &#8216;five seconds quick&#8217; according to Remington, but only with an NVIDIA GPU.  It thus requires a&#8230; &#8220;NVIDIA GTX 600 Series or newer&#8221;, which means a card from 2012 or later.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also interesting because it&#8217;s geared to 3D render noise, whereas most de-noiser software appears to be more focussed on the mass-market camera market and camera sensor-noise.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a handy new 20 minute tutorial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hPpklklKFH4\">on how to use it<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a free D-Noise add-on from Remington Graphics, for the free Blender.
