Just bought the plugin. Temporal AA is something I've always wanted in Blender, without the hassle of doing this in After Effects with plugins and crashing due to out of memory. Although, because there is a button to start the render, instead of an option to select this denoiser, I cannot use plugins for batch rendering. It would be the absolute required blender plugin if it came out with an option to select which cameras to render, and their custom time frames. Otherwise, you have to switch the camera and frame range manually every time you're rendering the image, and denoise. Amazing work!
@PidgeonTools11 ай бұрын
Hi, the temporal denoising needs this Button for it to work, as there are several requirements that have to be set. You mentioned batch rendering. Which would mean that you probably use multiple cameras in different locations. If it all would be done continuously, you would have issues with the denoising. Implementing a multi camera system is not easy, but not impossible. I would have to take a look into that. Currently all of our development efforts are in our new addon, super advanced camera. pidgeontools.gumroad.com/l/superadvancedcamera

I was looking forward to rendering with my new rtx card, only to realize that my new hair shader and some other regular materials produce immense amount of flickering even though it’s mostly a stylized plasticy style. I spen days rendering a few frames to try everything I can think of but nothing worked under 2000 samples making the animation render at 2 minutes 30 sec per frame which is atrocious. So I randomly came across temp SID and man it’s pretty good. I only did like 3 test renders but finally the flickering was reduced by 90% now it looks like a compressed yt vid at only max 300 samples at 45sec/frame. This is still not perfect and I feel worse lighting comditions could push it into bad territory but it’s lot better and faster than default, and finally presentable. So far the best solution was to render with the OID and then run the the temp denoiser on top of that. Ps: Blender 4.0 addon has a glitch where no matter the settings, the 2nd step produces images starting with 02 and thus the 3rd step errors out with traceback recent call. Imhave to manually copy first frame and rename it to 01 to work.

This looks super promising! How would I incorporate this into my existing compositing setup (color, fog, etc.)? The Basic SID node tree seems straight forward: I just replace it where my denoising node. But I'm a little confused on how I should use my compositing nodes with temporal denoising. I'm assuming I render the two passes then run a third pass through my own compositing nodes? Sounds a little clunky, but I still want to give this a shot! Thanks so much for you work!

Great tool man! Quick question though, So will the final image sequence be put in the directory given to blender or will the final images go with the noisy .exr files in the SID image directory?

@PidgeonTools7 ай бұрын
The denoised files will be in the folder you enter for SID. This video is for the old version. The new version in the pidgeon tool bag has a button next to the "denoise" button that leads you to the denoised frames. A quality loss per-se will not occur, but on fast movements between frames, like great changes, there will be artifacts. Especially on small objects. Like bullets. They will disappear. In that case it wouldn't be necessary to use a temporal denoiser anyway. As you wouldn't notice any flickering.

Hi, make sure your frame range is set correctly. Try having your current frame be on the first frame of the animation. Due to the way temporal denoising works.

Hi, it's not the file name, or it not recognising it. It's due to the special information that has to be included in the images. That's why they are multilayer exr images. They contain additional information like vector, Ted filter informations, the image itself as well as the depth of the image (not the z pass). The reason we have to use all the zeros is because python counts in an... Interesting way... 11 comes before 2 because 1 > 2. That's why the zeros. And so many because people might use frame ranges going into the thousands. Have you rendered the images regularly, or have you used the step 1? Because you really have to use step 1 for it to set up the settings and passes and denoising prerequisites and all that good stuff before step 2 can be applied

Hi Alex, The settings on SID are only for SID itself, the type of denoising it would do. Super splitting the passes into its components, high using the individual passes, and Standard using the image directly. The samples do have an impact on the quality of the denoising, more samples give a cleaner input image. Which gives it more data to work with, so a more detailed and stable output is achieved

Additionally, rendering animations without doing test renders first is a bad idea, always make a low res render first, to make sure everything is correct.

@@PidgeonTools It's all good. I can at least see the preview files as they're being built. Also, by turning off the render window, Blender 3.6 seems to be slightly less prone to crashing! I istill need to do more experimenting with SID4.0, but looking forward to new features and improvements. Denoising is a hugely important part of rendering with Cycles.

@@PidgeonTools yes I have. I rendered all the frames in exr and they are correctly placed in the “processing” (I think that was the name) folder. The thing I’m missing is the key vector, but I don’t know what that means

Hi there! Can I render multiple cameras (step 1/2 - Render with SID Temporal) and after all is rendered is it possible to denoise all the frames at the same time (2/2 - Denoise with SID Temporal)? I tried to do it in a previous version of SID and I had to do it in one go; if I closed Blender, the SID add-on wasn't able to find the noisy renders and denoise them.
@PidgeonTools11 ай бұрын
Hi, Multiple cameras are not supported, you would need to render it in sections. Remember that SID takes 1 frame in the beginning and 2 frames in the end when denoising. So you would need to compensate for that. Keep in mind, this is the very first release of SID temporal, and many more features are yet to come! Regarding blender not being able to find the frames. Make sure you save the blend file, and check if you have the path set correctly. If you believe you do, and the error persists, please join out discord server and share a screenshot of your settings, so we can help you out with it. Kind regards, Kevin Lorengel

@@PidgeonTools Thanks for the swift answer! When you mention that I need to render in sections, what do you mean by that? Do I have to manually select each camera to render, is that it? Oh, and how does it integrate with Pidgeon Render Farm? Can I render one camera with multiple pcs and denoise the noisy frames after the work is done? P.S.: I can't accept the invitation in the Discord...
@PidgeonTools11 ай бұрын
Hi, With sections I mean that you set your frame range to be within one cameras range, then render step 1 and denoise step 2. Then you go to the next camera frame range. Pidgeon render farm is still in development. We have prioritized the implementation of SID temporal. The current plan is that the rendering is distributed among all machines, and the denoising will be done by one machine. Regarding the discord invitation. What exactly do you mean? Is there an error that comes up? You need to have two factor authentication enabled to join us. We value the safety of our users and to avoid bots we implemented safety measures.

@@PidgeonTools So a section is when I select frames 1-100, for example, render those frames and denoise them. A second frame would be like then select manually frames 101-200, render them and repeat the denoising process, is that it? You said that "The current plan is that the rendering is distributed among all machines, and the denoising will be done by one machine." Does this method work right now or is it being planned to be implemented? I did activate the two factor authentication (I didn't have it enabled); however, the same error message appears: "Ops...não foi possível aceitar o convite", which roughly translates to Ups, it wasn't possible to accept the invitation.

HI, I just gave it a try thanks. I have a problem though, after I click render it freezes Blender and I can't see the progress of my renders. It sounds like it's doing something, but Blender has become unresponsive with the UI greyed out. I tried pressing escape to cancel the render, but nothing happens. I'm on Blender 3.6.1, do I need to use a different version of Blender? It's important I see the rendered frames during animation rendering, also need to be able to cancel a render.

Hi, as mentioned in the video, blender will freeze during this process as a way to save memory and increase render speed. Unfortunately, due to the way blender is coded, it is very very difficult to implement render preview. Please do test renders first, I recommend having 50% resolution, and a step of two, so that every second frame will be rendered. That way you will render much less, and still can spot if there are any errors. After that, you can use SID-Temporal worry free

@@PidgeonTools ah, thanks, but that's a deal breaker for me. It's really important to be able to keep an eye on the rendered frames during rendering. There's virtually always some problem I spot during rendering that requires me to cancel, fix the issue, and then continue rendering from a few frames previously. It's not possible to spot all of the problems before rendering generally. I think you should leave it up to the user if they want to lock the viewport or not to save resources. The user can do this from the render menu's lock interface checkbox. That reduces memory and frees resources, but still shows the render result.
@PidgeonTools Жыл бұрын
the option to lock the viewport is already there, its just not recommended, because weird things happend during the rendering with blender. like the resolution increaseing and the FOV changing if you have overscan enabled. It will not affect your render, but in the end you will need to reset it.

It is not wise to put all eggs in one basket. Test renders should always be done before doing a final render. It's the way the professionals do it too
