LuxCoreRender v2.1alpha0 released
Posted: Sat May 12, 2018 2:20 pm
BCD Denoiser
The first release with BCD denoiser (aka "Bayesian Collaborative Denoiser for Monte-Carlo Rendering") is finally here:
The denoiser is currently supported in all rendering modes.
BCD Denoiser parameters
There are 2 main parameters for the denoiser. One is the histogram threshold. The default value is 1.0. A lower value will make the output more "sharp" while a value higher than 1.0 will make the result more "blurred".
The other main parameter is the search window radius and it affects both the total denoiser execution time and the outpout sharpness/blurriness.
BCD Denoiser spikes filter
The denoiser includes an anti-fireflies filter. While it may be less powerful than variance clamping, it is easier to use because it doesn't require any parameter to work. So it is up to your taste if to use the denoiser combined with variance clamping or not.
BCD Denoiser and BiDir
The BCD denoiser application to BIDIRCPU is a bit stretched because of some aspect of how BiDir and BCD work. If you are planning to use the denoiser is better to disable pixel filtering or the end result is likely to be too blurred.
VisualStudio 2017 builds
Thanks to Acasta69 work, this is the first release for Windows compiled with VisualStudio 2017. You may need to install the VS2017 runtime libraries: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -downloads
