How Do I Enable Denoiser in VRAY Sketchup?

Are you looking to enhance the visual quality of your VRAY Sketchup renders? One way to achieve this is by enabling the Denoiser feature.

Denoising is a process that helps reduce noise or graininess in your rendered images, resulting in smoother and more polished final results. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to enable the Denoiser in VRAY Sketchup.

Step 1: Accessing VRAY Asset Editor

To enable the Denoiser feature, first, open your VRAY Asset Editor. You can do this by clicking on the “Asset Editor” button located at the top toolbar of the VRAY plugin window.

Step 2: Locating the Denoiser Settings

Once you have accessed the VRAY Asset Editor, navigate to the “Settings” tab. Here, you will find various options to customize your render settings.

Substep 2.1: Expanding the Global Options

In the “Settings” tab, locate and expand the “Global Options” section by clicking on the arrow icon next to it. This will reveal additional settings related to global rendering options.2: Enabling Denoiser

Within the expanded “Global Options” section, find and enable the “Denoise” checkbox. This will activate the Denoiser feature for your renderings.

Step 3: Adjusting Denoiser Settings

After enabling the Denoiser checkbox, you can further customize its settings according to your preference.

Substep 3.1: Strength

The Strength parameter determines how much denoising effect is applied to your render. A higher value will result in stronger denoising but may potentially soften the image. You can experiment with different values to find the right balance for your specific render.2: Luminance Threshold

The Luminance Threshold controls the sensitivity of the Denoiser algorithm to noise. Higher values will reduce more noise but may also remove fine details from your image.

Lower values preserve more details but may result in visible noise. Adjust this parameter based on your desired level of noise reduction.

Step 4: Rendering with Denoiser

Now that you have enabled and customized the Denoiser settings, you are ready to render your scene with denoising enabled.

Substep 4.1: Start Render

To initiate the rendering process, click on the “Render” button located at the top toolbar of the VRAY plugin window. VRAY will start rendering your scene with the Denoiser feature enabled.2: Monitor Progress

You can monitor the progress of your render in real-time using the VRAY Asset Editor window. As the rendering progresses, you will notice how VRAY’s Denoiser algorithm cleans up noise and produces a smoother-looking image.

Step 5: Evaluating Results

Once the rendering is complete, take a close look at your final rendered image and compare it to previous renders without denoising. You should notice a significant reduction in noise, resulting in a cleaner and more visually pleasing outcome.

Congratulations! You have successfully enabled and utilized the Denoiser feature in VRAY Sketchup. This powerful tool enables you to enhance the quality of your renders by reducing noise and improving overall visual fidelity.

Remember, the Denoiser feature is just one of many tools available in VRAY Sketchup that can help you achieve stunning and professional-looking results. Experiment with different settings and techniques to unlock the full potential of this powerful rendering software.
