Overview / Usage
The Intel Open Image Denoise library is available for use in Blender version 2.81 or greater, allowing to game developers and digital content creators to more easily generate quality ray-traced render in less time. The Intel Open Image Denoise library is part of the Intel oneAPI Rendering Toolkit and uses AI to more intelligently create clean higher quality denoise results in less time, without undesired artifacts or patterns in the render.
Denoising is helpful when needing to quicken the rendering time especially with renders having low light or shadows. Noise is often created in a ray-traced image when there is not enough light or samples per pixels available to render the pixels accurately. Denoising technologies can clean up the noise with software. However, to date many denoising techniques often created unwanted artifacts, patterns or even removed desired details from an image. The Intel Open Image Denoise library uses artificial intelligence to more effectively clean out the noise while creating a clean render.
This demo provides an overview of denoising and demonstrates how to make use of it in Blender 3D.

Methodology / Approach
The Intel Open Image Denoise is available as a node in the Compositing Tab, allowing developers and artists to adjust results post rendering using information from rendering layers such as Albedo. Simply turn on Denoising Data in the Layers property panel, add the Denoise node to the compositor, then connect the Image, Normal and Albedo nodes.
