Are you tired of spending hours rendering your Sketchup models only to find that they are still noisy and grainy? Well, there is a solution for you – VRAY Denoiser!
The VRAY Denoiser is a powerful tool that can significantly reduce noise in your renders, giving you smooth and clean images. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to enable the VRAY Denoiser in Sketchup.
Step 1: Install the VRAY Plugin
The first step is to ensure that you have the VRAY plugin installed in Sketchup. If you haven’t already installed it, head over to the VRAY website and download the appropriate version for your operating system. Once downloaded, follow the installation instructions to install the plugin.
Step 2: Set Up Your Scene
Before we can enable the VRAY Denoiser, we need to set up our scene properly. Make sure that all your materials and lighting are properly set up, as these can affect the performance of the denoiser. It’s also a good idea to save your scene before proceeding.
Step 3: Enable VRAY Denoiser
Now that we have everything set up, it’s time to enable the VRAY Denoiser. To do this, follow these steps:
- Select the Render Settings
- Navigate to ‘Denoiser’
- Enable the VRay Denoiser
- Adjust the Settings
In Sketchup, go to “Extensions” > “VRay” > “Options”. This will open up the VRay options window.
In the VRay options window, navigate to the “Denoiser” tab.
In the denoiser tab, check the box that says “Enable VRay Denoiser”.
You can further customize the denoising process by adjusting the settings such as “Strength” and “Radius”. Experiment with these settings to achieve the desired level of noise reduction.
Step 4: Render with VRAY Denoiser
Once you have enabled and customized the VRAY Denoiser, you are ready to render your scene. Simply hit the render button and let VRAY do its magic! You will notice that during the rendering process, VRAY will apply its denoising algorithm to reduce noise in real-time.
After the rendering is complete, you will be left with a beautifully rendered image free from noise and graininess. You can compare this with a render without denoising enabled to see the significant difference it makes.
Conclusion:
The VRAY Denoiser is an essential tool for anyone using Sketchup for architectural visualization or any other type of rendering. It saves valuable time by reducing rendering times and producing clean and smooth images. By following this tutorial, you can easily enable and customize the VRAY Denoiser in Sketchup and take your renders to a whole new level!
