A tip:

I’ve recently started using the free Super Image Denoiser add-on for Blender. It works with Cycles, LuxCoreRender and Octane, and yields more refined results than straightforward denoising.

I just downloaded it. I’ll give it try. Thanks for the info!

tried it and i was super impressed! No chance to compare with the latest OIDN 1.3 but so far, this is the best

I use SID as well and am very happy with it. Thanks

You’re very welcome guys. Another tip: you can keep track of SID updates and ask questions to the author at his Discord channel.

OIDN 1.3? When did that release?

burnin · February 19, 2021, 11:57am

On February 5th…

Discussed at OIDN new version Out - LuxCoreRender Forums

Thanks, but I thought it was already built into blender in general so I was confused

Nice! It better of cycles.

That is good news one question because the tutorial isn’t loading. I’m learning the metal materials but it looks like a choice between texture color or ior. Is that right? No way to use both?

We have released the final version of v2.5.

Here’s an overview of the new features: https://luxcorerender.org/new-features-in-v2-5

Really good release. Too bad it doesn’t have bevel shader. I know there are issues with it. Hoping to see it in 2.6.

Thanks for putting such a detailed release notes. I wasn’t aware of about 60% of the new features.

Anyone can help me fix this shading artifacts?

burnin · April 11, 2021, 4:51pm

either shade smooth, clear custom split normals, subdivide geo, play w/ epsilon…

ruby_en · April 11, 2021, 5:49pm

smoth shading is on, normals cleared - nothing happened

povmaniaco · April 12, 2021, 3:10pm

You are sure that don’t have ‘User geometry data’ enabled?

ruby_en · April 12, 2021, 3:23pm

Try to post a simple test scene, it is hard to say by just looking at the image.
