AI denoising ( 3ds Max | C4D ) can be separately toggled on and off for regular and interactive rendering. Here is how to do it:
Production Rendering
3ds Max:
- Go to Render Setup > Scene > Denoising:
- Set "Denoising Mode" to "NVIDIA GPU AI (fast preview)" to enable a very fast denoiser which also denoises the image during rendering, not just at the end.
Note: this denoising mode is not recommended for denoising animations and available only on NVIDIA GPUs when the optional "NVIDIA AI Denoiser" Corona component has been installed. - Set "Denoising Mode" to "Intel CPU/GPU AI" to enable a fast denoiser when render ends.
Note: If you have a supported NVIDIA GPU in your machine, then it runs on the GPU, otherwise it runs on the CPU (both AMD and Intel CPUs are supported). This denoising mode is not suitable for denoising animations. - Set "Denoising Mode" to "None" or any other type to disable AI denoising.
Cinema 4D:
- Go to Render Settings > General Settings > Denoising
- Set "Denoising Mode" to "NVIDIA GPU AI (fast preview)" to enable a very fast denoiser which also denoises the image during rendering, not just at the end.
Note: this denoising mode is not suitable for denoising animation and available only on NVIDIA GPUs when the optional "NVIDIA AI Denoiser" Corona component has been installed. - Set "Denoising Mode" to "Intel CPU/GPU AI" to enable a fast denoiser when render ends.
Note: If you have a supported NVIDIA GPU in your machine, then it runs on the GPU, otherwise it runs on the CPU (both AMD and Intel CPUs are supported). This denoising mode is not suitable for denoising animations. - Set "Denoising Mode" to "None" or any other type to disable AI denoising.
Interactive Rendering
3ds Max:
- Go to Render Setup > Performance > Interactive rendering and select from the "Denoising during rendering" dropdown menu to enable denoising type - NVIDIA GPU AI or Intel GPU AI;
Note: currently (Corona 11 Hotfix 1) both denoisers require a supported NVIDIA GPU. - Use the dropdown menu to disable denoising for interactive rendering by setting it to ''None''.
Cinema 4D:
- Open the Render Settings > Performance Settings > Interactive rendering and select from the Fast preview denoise during render dropdown menu Optix or Intel to enable this denoising type.
Note: currently (Corona 11 Hotfix 1) both denoisers require a supported NVIDIA GPU. - Use the dropdown menu to disable the Fast Preview denoising for interactive rendering by setting it to ''None''.
