Turbo Tools v3 is a massive update with many new features and improvements. The most notable is the new temporal stabilizer, which in combination with the new option to optimise the sample pre-sets for animations, will allow you to render Cycles animations by as much as 40x faster!
Special thanks to Ivo Wejgaard for providing the excellent test renders and artwork, and also to Alex Weinberg for the office test scene and renders.

WOW, just WOW!!"!! This addon is amazing! It's just reduced my render time by around 5x! It's like upgrading 2 generations of graphics card! How the hell does this thing work?!

[@nenghuo]

did it work with M1 mac?

[@3d-illusions]

The spaceman scene was rendered on a Mac. The addon works on all operating systems that support blender. It’s a post process performed on CPU (multi-threaded), so you can continue to render on cpu or gpu as usual.

Do demonstrations where there actually is flicker. None of these examples have flickering. I render animations where everything on the entire screen is flickering like nuts, and I do temporal noise reduction in post and it gets rid of all of the flickering.

[@3d-illusions]

Hi there was actually a lot of flickering. The KZbin processing has removed both it and the quality. In 4K you can see a bit of flicker still before using the temporal denoising. I’ve also added a link to a shortened video on Vimeo to better see the flicker. Good to hear Turbo Tools is doing such a good job of removing your flicker 👍👍

[@Leukick]

@@3d-illusions I checked your Vimeo version, still not a good demonstration of your product because there still isn't any flicker. I don't use Turbo Tools, I do temporal noise reduction in post via Neat Video or the inbuilt one in my editing software.

[@3d-illusions]

@@Leukick yeah, there's still a bit of flicker removed even by vimeo's processing, much less though, and at 4k I can still see quite a lot of flicker, particularly on the examples shown later in the video with the office scene, particularly in Crap mode.

@@3d-illusions Was just trying to find a reason for myself to buy this product. So far my temporal denoising method removes extreme amounts of crazy flickering all over the whole shot. Rendered at 200 samples. If I can see this product tested under those conditions I'll buy asap :)

[@3d-illusions]

@@Leukick thanks. I'll have to make another video with which I can share the scene file. The files shown in this video were from other artists. Make sure you subscribe to get notified. I'm also planning some further major updates that will take the temporal stabiliser beyond any other software, so if you want to be notified of details when they get released, be sure to folow me on the gumroad page 👍👍 If you're not aware, the temporal stabiliser is only a small part of what the addon can do, so be sure to check out the other features for the rendering and compositing.

[@clintostwald435]

I'm also using a 1070, I'm mainly rendering animations and using the high/very high preset. It gives me a good render time (3-5 minutes) so I can now use cycles. Although it is about 2 minutes slower than Eevee, it is worth it because without the tool it is well over 10 minutes. So it is usually using 648 samples, giving a great result with the enhanced texture feature. However, the temporal flicker remover doesn't always give me optimal results and often affects objects I don't want it to. Perhaps it's because I have motion blur enabled, but I don't like adding motion blur in post. I'm using the Flicker Free 2.0 Addon which allows me more freedom in what area I want to remove the flicker from, maybe thats also possible within the compositor but since I already have it and use Premiere anyway it is just now the workflow. So in combination it gives great results.

[@3d-illusions]

Hi, thanks for your purchase. Glad to hear it's speeding up your renders so dramatically. Regarding limiting stabilisation to certain elements, yes you can use selective stabilisation for that. If you need any further support, then please use the support contact details provided with your purchase 👍

[@RealGaryGibson]

Looks very nice! I'm going to be rendering a Blender animated model with huge 5760 x 2880 resolution using cycles 360 camera. Will your renderer still outperform in this example?

[@3d-illusions]

It will generally always outperform providing your system specs can handle denoising an image of that size. The system requirements are listed on the product page, and you can also test by trying the compositors denoise node set to accurate and hdr (make sure all 3 inputs are connected).

Thank you for making this addon useful! Just one question, does this addon also bake all BVH before rendering? Can I find the option or it is already included?

Hi, thanks for your purchase. Cycles will continue to function as it does without the addon. The addon isn't a render engine, but rather an advanced denoising system with automatic render settings, scene optimisation, temporal stabiliser to remove flicker from animations, and a suite of post production tools in the compositor.

[@PlasticDragon3d]

Could this work with exr multilayer? Sinse I have already a workflow with Nuke for compositing i'm just curious

[@3d-illusions]

Hi, yes the one addon automatically creates a multilayer exr for caching purposes. It even saves out individually denoised passes if you set it to ultra (just the passes that build the combined passes get denoised). This can reduce file size enormously due to the lack of noise. You can also choose to publish out to an exr if you need a certain naming convention or order, this will also allow the individual passes to be stabilised (not alpha or data of course)

[@andreasschultze6644]

Hey there, was wondering how the addon works if you render everything on multiple machines? Do I have to send the renders to the farm, everything is rendering and after it is finished I reopen my REnderfile and hit "publish animation" to temporal deflicker it on 1 machine? Thanks for your time and effort.

[@3d-illusions]

Hi, yes that's exactly right. Garage.farm has support for the addon, I'm not sure which other farms (they have to send back the cache folder). Once you have it back, then you just point the file at the cache folder, and then publish. The blend file you're publishing in has to have the same scene and viewlayer names for the cache to load properly. I also tested on colab the other day, and that works too. I did need to modify the command line script I provide for it to work correctly. I'll share it once I've simplified it a bit.

[@sergiopontes8552]

Hi, I need a nvidia card to use this adon? Other doubt: Can I use it when I send my animation to a render farm? If yes, what I need to setup before send to render farm?

[@3d-illusions]

Hi it works on any hardware as it happens on the CPU after rendering completes. People are using it successfully with garage.farm , I'm unsure which other farms support it. All you need to do is upload it with Turbo Render enabled to the best of my knowledge (haven't tried), but it might be worth dropping them a quick email first to make sure.

[@AlanCrytex]

The temporal stabilizer has been amazing

[@3d-illusions]

Sure, you can contact me at the support email address shown on the receipt 👍 By the way, did you try it in seperate rgb mode? Also make sure the resolution of the published version matches the original render.

[@3d-illusions]

For anyone else that experiences this issue, the problem turned out to be a bug with Blender which breaks the vector pass if the camera is set to panoramic/fisheye. I've reported a bug to Blender here: developer.blender.org/T99823 . Until the Blender dev's have had time to fix it, you can avoid the issue by setting the camera to perspective and then add the fisheye effect in the compositor using a lens distortion node instead 👍

[@BrandonBloxBB]

Hi would this work for a in depth interior animation scene? No characters. I am finding out those are tough to render with the current version of cycles in blender even with my high end 4070 ti card. I have 3,000 frames for it since it is a slower animation walk through. Would turbo be able to do all frames at like 1024 samples in a reasonable time without me using a render farm? I am looking into my options to solve this problem I am having with getting noise/flickers in the animation especially when using the current denoise option in cycles. I have tested from 512 to 5,000 samples and still get noise without the denoise. I will look more into this addon in the meantime!

Hi, after rendering you set blender's output to png, then in the turbo tools panel in the compositor you click publish with the temporal option enabled 👍 During the initial rendering stage it's best to leave blender's output to something with a small file size like mpg, because Turbo Render automatically creates an EXR multilayer which is automatically used for the compositor operations such as publishing etc.

[@3d-illusions]

ps, the contact details are on your receipt 👍

[@Venous_fx]

How does this compare to using SID for denoise and Davinci Resolve's temporal denoiser for flicker?

[@3d-illusions]

This uses a lot more logic than alternatives (8000 lines of code!) so that it can keep renders not only extremely high quality, but also as fast as possible. For the temporal system, this takes advantage of 3D data to assist it, I’m not sure if resolve does that, but I’d imagine it’s just a 2d system. This also has a lot more to it. I’d recommend checking out the turbo vs the classroom scene video for a look at some of the other stuff the addon also does 👍

[@theshyamojournal]

Hey man, I just came across this video and thought I would ask a question before I consider purchasing Turbo Tools. I currently have a MacBook Pro 2021 with an M1 Max Chip and 64GB Ram. I am currently working on a project which I intend to render out at 4k Resolution and each frame takes about 15 minutes, would Turbo Tools help with speeding the render time up? There are a lot of different complex and high poly objects in the scene. Many thanks in advance :)

[@3d-illusions]

You should certainly see a gain, but the extent of that gain is dependant on how populated the individual passes are. For example if only the diffuse direct pass has data on it, then there won't be much a multipass denoiser can work with, but if there's lots of indirect lighting and reflections etc, such as an indoor scene, then you'll get a much larger gain. I regularly get emails from people letting me know that it's reduced 12 hour single frame renders down to less than 10 mins per frame. Basically the addon provides a speed up because it's denoiser is able to successfully denoise noisier images that the standard denoisers can. This effectively means you can lower the samples, which provides a speed up. So start with the crap sample preset and work your way up if necessary. Avoid enabling the animation option on the high or above sample presets due to a blender adaptive sampling issue that introduces noise patterns the AI denoisers mistake as intentional (results in swirly artefacts, covered in the troubleshooting section too)

@@adameskoo if you mean a few scenes from a single .blend file, then yes, and each scene can have different turbo render settings.

Check out the turbo render via the classroom video 👍

[@3d-illusions]

@@adameskoo additionally, each scene and any passes you have enabled in those scenes, will also get automatically output as a multilayer EXR. That means you can set blender's own output to something very light such as ffmpg. You can use those EXR's (otherwise known as the render layer cache) in a third party compositor, or in Blender's compositor (where they get automatically loaded in each frame by the Turbo Comp portion of the addon). Another benefit is in Ultra denoise mode, Turbo Tools EXR render layer cache can be up to 30x smaller than the multilayer EXR produced by Blender's own output. This is because Ultra mode saves the denoised passes into the EXR, whereas Blender only saves the denoise combined pass, and the noise on the other passes is a major contributor to file size.

the turbo render options are easy to use, but I'm a bit confused when it comes to using the temporal stabilizer. When i click publish animation, i dont see a node created in the compositor it just renders my animation, maybe im doing something wrong?

[@3d-illusions]

That’s correct behaviour now. I’ve changed it to lock the viewport for stability. The nodes are still created, they’re just not visible because of the viewport being locked.

[@dimigaming6476]

@@3d-illusions so here's my question, If i skip the use of Turbo render, and jump straight to the compositor and hit "Publish animation" will the results be worse than if i had started with turbo render?

[@3d-illusions]

@@dimigaming6476 Hi, publishing will work regardless of how you render. The temporal stabiliser option requires that Turbo Render was used to render. For further support enquiries, please use the support email shown on your receipt 👍

Very nice and complex job, why you donot work with blender developers bro??!!, or are you really working with them?. @3d illusions

Thanks, I don't work with the Blender foundation. I do need to start adding some code to Blender though so I can take the addon to the next level 👍

[@RomboutVersluijs]

All of these faster engineer have less image quality, that's why there much faster. E-cycles tends to add features which are patches to official blender which might or might not get into blender.

[@3d-illusions]

@@RomboutVersluijs hi this is the official Cycles still, turbo tools isn’t a render engine, it’s an advanced denoiser with a load of compositor and caching tools + the new temporal stabiliser. In fact Turbo Render dramatically improves image quality when compared to alternatives. Check out this short video for examples of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqumnpKspZuFaK8

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@3d-illusions yeah noticed that. Curious how it's done. E-cycles already has a much better denoiser vs blender default method. This one seem even better

[@3d-illusions]

@@RomboutVersluijs Thanks, yes I've had lots of K-Cycles and E-Cycles users tell me they're getting much better quality with Turbo Render. It's basically an automatic multipass denosiing system with lots of variations on how it does things based on what's in the scene, and also lots of other scene/render settings. The enhance texture option even has multiple different ways of achieving preserved textures under different scenarios. The underlying caching system is the workhorse for everything in the addon, including the rendering, publishing, and temporal stabilising.

[@0zyris]

Does this work with renderset? If not, how can I use it to render across multiple machines?

[@3d-illusions]

Hi, I don't know about renderset, but for multiple machines you'd use command line rendering (instructions on the product page), you would also need to set each node's frame range using the command lines python commands rather than the frame range argument 👍 Alternatively I believe garage.farm now support turbo tools.

[@0zyris]

@@3d-illusions Thanks for the response. I was just thinking about the absolute paths. I had trouble with renderset because of those. Many add-ons seem to have absolute paths. I am currently rendering an animation sequence that is going to take five days across two machines. Would have been nice to render this in one day!

[@3d-illusions]

@@0zyris no worries. checkout command line rendering, and make sure all nodes point to the same network folder as the cache directory 👍 It was important to use absolute paths to avoid having to constantly change the path when moving blend files to different locations.

Is there a trial version? HOw can I try this? interesting...

[@3d-illusions]

Hi, thanks for your interest. There isn't a trial version planned currently, but there are lots of reviews to check out on the product page, and I also have a lot of videos showing the addon working in real time if that helps 👍

[@DanielEboli]

​@@3d-illusions Ive been watching all of them but the issue for me is about how would it behave in my PC and how much realistically it would improve my workflow( which is very fast at the moment) 50 US dollars is a lot of money in my country to spend in smt uncertain. One of the issues is that some ppl reported is that the compositing render time could be as long as 8 seconds when rendering, even using non expensive nodes, (oposite to 2 sec with OIDIN). This would make it unusable to me, i am afraid. I am considering purchasing your addon but I have to do the test in my projects to see if the difference in render time would be optmizing my workflow in the real world. Time is of the essence... Needless to say, I could buy it today but without a trial version...it would be a shot in the dark fort me...for quite a lot of money... Thanks for your reply, Ive been watching all your videos, great stuff!

[@3d-illusions]

@@DanielEboli Hi, if the render time is reduced by a minute, then 8 seconds compositing isn't really an issue. Of course if your renders are already below 20 seconds, then you wouldn't get much of a speed up, only better quality thanks to the enhance details option. The addon will offer the biggest speed up on scenes that take over a minute to render without the addon, for example in the gtx1070 vs the rtx 4090 video I reduce the render time from 10 mins without the addon to between 30 seconds and 2 mins (depending on the quality I need). If you're using the addon for renders that already render quickly, then I'd advise to use the fast/draft denoising mode. This is the same speed as OIDN if you don't have the enhance textures option enabled, or a few seconds longer than OIDN if you do have that option enabled (recommended). You can see a demonstration of using the addon with fast to render scenes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqumnpKspZuFaK8si=dLPQgtX4WfWmJ-G3

[@tamilorejoseph4704]

Can the addon actually be applied in real-time

[@3d-illusions]

Turbo Render is for final renders only, not viewport. Temporal stabilisation happens during publishing (publishing is basically re-outputting the rendered exr sequence to any format specified in blender's output panel. Enabling temporal stabilsation in the publishing options results in the addon analysing the previous and next frame during publishing to remove temporal flicker).

[@tamilorejoseph4704]

@@3d-illusions thanks a lot , that sounds interesting. would any more data be needed aside from the beauty render pass to work with temporal stabiliser such as glossydir or denoising data. also would it happened that any render format can be used ?

[@3d-illusions]

@@tamilorejoseph4704 you need to render with turbo tools for the temporal stabiliser to work, it automatically creates all the necessary data 👍

[@Layston]

Does the temporal denoiser work with any file type? Also does it take a huge cache file?

[@3d-illusions]

The temporal denoiser works only with renders created when the turbo tools addon is installed, and only for cycles renders. The cache file’s size is dependant on the bit depth chosen in the preferences and also how many passes you have enabled in the view layer properties 👍

[@adriaanclaerhout]

@@adriaanclaerhout yes you can. Check that the farm supports the addon before uploading though. I think garage farm added support recently. The farm needs to return the cache files to you so that you can then composite and stabilise locally 👍

[@3d-illusions]

absolutely. It's in use by a large number of studios for large TV and Film projects 👍 The Turbo Tools version 4 update due for release in a day or two will make the temporal stabiliser even more powerful!

Quad Core that runs at over 4ghz (The processing is multithreaded, so the more cores the better. Anything below 4ghz will still work, but the processing times may be unacceptable on low core count machines). Does it mean, every core needs to process at over 4.2 GHz? I am using Quad Core 3.5 GHz(Intel Core i7-3770K). Will there be any Performance issues such as it will slow down or freeze my PC?

[@3d-illusions]

@@ab_rahim44 no it just means it’ll be a bit slower to denoise is all 👍

can i use with local render farm?

[@3d-illusions]

The download section includes a script which shows how to render and temporalise from the command line on multiple pc’s. I believe garage.farm also support the addon, and may even offer remote access to the cache folder, so that you can start compositing locally whilst they’re still rendering.

[@tsun8267]

Didn't work well with a hard render like moving fur on a bird where there's a lot of flicker. Had the renders at 4k resolution with midrange samples and the temporal stabilizer didnt do much to deflicker the fur and added some strange ghosting effects to the surrounding edges. For real tough stuff like this I guess my only option left is unreal engine

[@3d-illusions]

Hi, yes, certain elements aren't suitable for stabilisation (covered in the manual link below). For this reason the addon has selective stabilisation, which allows you to only stabilise the suitable elements, rendering the unsuitable elements separately so that they can still take advantage of the 3 to 5x faster rendering speeds (although with fur in particular, samples may need to be kept a bit higher because of how few pixels each strand covers). So my approach would be to render the fur separately in a second scene in the same blend file, using a higher sample pre-set for just that scene so that it doesn't need to be stabilised, and then only stabilise the suitable elements by selecting the render layer nodes you want to be stabilised before clicking publish. It'll still render quickly because the rest of the scene won't be rendered in the second scene. I demonstrate selective stabilisation towards the end of this video if you're not sure how to do it 👍 For further information here's the link to the temporal stabilisation section of the user manual: 3dillusions.gumroad.com/l/turbo_tools?layout=profile#:~:text=stabilisation%20to%20work.-,Limitations,-%3A%20The%20stabiliser%20is

@@3d-illusions With more testing it seems this has nothing to do with sample count. I changed the particles children distribution type to Simple instead of Interpolated and this fixed things. Seems like there's an unfixed bug with Cycles where theres some disparity in how the rays calculate the interpolation because this doesnt happen in Evee. Either way this addon really saved a lot of time with these tests so it helped a lot here
