“Integrating NVIDIA OptiX AI-driven denoiser technology in Clarisse was a no-brainer. It allows Clarisse’s renderer to converge faster to the final result. This is simply ideal for artists: they can now even make more creative decisions faster!” said Sébastien Guichou, Isotropix’s CTO and co-founder.
Thanks to the real-time denoiser powered by NVIDIA GPUs, artists can now make their creative decisions faster than ever before as this technology dramatically speeds up final render times and greatly improves the quality of interactive feedback.
“We love the potential of NVIDIA OptiX image denoising technology integration in Clarisse. It’s completely changing the game for path-tracers. It’s incredibly fast and it almost feels magical to see all this nice smooth detail appear instantly instead of indecipherable noise!” commented Sylvain Theroux, Senior Visual Effect Artist at Raynault VFX.
This Clarisse 3.6 SP1 update brings OptiX AI-driven denoiser technology in the form of a real-time denoiser in Clarisse’s 3D View interactive progressive rendering, as an image filter for Clarisse final renders and finally as a new command line tool to denoise final renders as a post-render batch process.
CLARISSE DENOISER UPDATE FEATURES DESCRIPTION:
● Real-time denoising in 3D View
Thanks to its integration into Clarisse’s 3D View, the NVIDIA OptiX AI denoiser brings progressive rendering to the next level. This game-changing image process enables Clarisse’s renderer to converge way faster to the final result allowing artists to make their creative decisions in no time.
"The implications of the NVIDIA OptiX AI-accelerated denoiser in Clarisse are huge. It's a great way of reducing render and iteration time, both for preview and final images!" noted Martin Ögren, VFX Operations Manager at Important Looking Pirates.
● Final render denoising
Integrated as a new image filter in Clarisse, users can now benefit from NVIDIA’s AI-driven denoiser directly on their final renders, leading to quicker render times as the number of samples required to render a noise-free final image is dramatically reduced.
● CDenoise a new tool for render-farms
In addition, Isotropix has introduced CDenoise, a special command line tool designed to solve the issue of denoising renders on render-farms that may not be entirely equipped with NVIDIA GPUs. This dedicated tool allows customers to apply the denoiser on dedicated machines equipped with NVIDIA GPUs as a batch post-process using as input a sequence of rendered EXR files.
