Noise artifact with openCL

Post by Cekuhnen »

Oddly when using the pattern when rendering looks horizontally stretched and when turning on denoise

Any idea what can cause this? I observed similar with Lux in Blender 2.8 on the macOS side.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

the horizontal noise patterns are an artifact of OpenCL Sobol sampling on the GPU.
OIDN is not trained for this and then gets creative with it :D
To avoid that just use the random sampler (Render properties/light paths/advanced/Sampler).

It is a known property of our OpenCL Sobol sampler. The stripes will vanish once more samples are rendered. Only switch to the random sampler if you really need to stop the rendering with such a high amount of noise for some reason.
