Overview ¶
NVIDIA’s OptiX AI-Accelerated Denoiser uses deep learning to remove noise and “fireflies” from a rendered image. It is useful for getting a higher-quality preview of what a converged image will look like so you can make lighting decisions faster.

The NVIDIA OptiX denoiser requires an NVIDIA GPU with Kepler architecture or better.
-
The denoiser is not available on macOS.
How to ¶
To... | Do this |
---|---|
Use the denoiser in the Render View |
Turn on the In the Render View, the denoiser always uses the “basecolor” image plane (if it exists) as the albedo input. |
Use the denoiser in Mantra |
In the parameter editor for the In the Pixel filter field you can optionally specify an image plane to use as the albedo input to the denoiser with the denoise optix -a mydiffuse |
Choose which GPU to use |
If you have more than one GPU in your computer, you can specify which one to use for denoising.
