Thanks for watching!

Hey! The road, was modelled as thats just a flat plane, the side areas where the grass is, I got from megascans :) quixel.com/megascans

Haha hope it helped! You’re keeping busy aren’t you 😂 might have me beat!

@@ethdavis Super useful. as always!

Thanks for watching! Yes for sure! In a few weeks probably :)

@@ethdavis Thank you. That's great news

Thanks so much🙌🏻

doesn't work :(

@@kicpo updated the link :)

Thankyou!

thankyou!

thankyou!

Thanks!

just updated the description with them! thanks for the reminder :)

@@ethdavis thank you and keep up the good work!!

thanks for watching! It's definitely good for glass, stops all those fireflies from happening :D

@@ethdavis if you want i can share with you when it will be done.. i will do glass images for shower company

thanks for watching !

No worries! Glad it helped 🙌🏻

Realistic Touch! It's essentially just imperfection maps already setup

No worries! glad it helped :)

Hey! How are you trying to preview them? Nuke, fusion, photoshop?

@@ethdavis hey , i am making an animation and i would like to add it to After Effects and when i do render in PNG i have the final render but using EXR, is everything black. Nuke, fusion i fo not have it unfortunately. 🙏🏾

Are you rendering in multi-layer? Sometimes if the software doesn’t know how to read them it may just be reading a layer in there that is completely black. There’s multiple files in a single EXR so that’s probably why. You could do your export as individual EXR files which should solve the issue but I don’t know after effects unfortunately. But definitely use EXR over PNG, so much better

@@ethdavis yeah when it does render i see the image . But when it is saved and let’s say i would like to open the exr file in Blender itself, the image is completely black and it is the same thing in After Effects

Hey! Thanks for the kind words on the video, trying to provide as much as I can :) There’s some great laptops out there pre than enough power, if you are moving around a lot then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a laptop. Computers are also really good so that’s up to you! In terms of maya vs blender, maya is the industry standard, if you’re trying to get a job in a studio then I would definitely go with that. If you’re trying to become freelance than blender is the way to go! Yes they both do the same thing but companies don’t use blender that often. Thanks!

thanks bro!

You have to enable the node wrangler add on, it’s already built in. Then press CTRL - SHIFT left click on the node to view it

Thanks dude!

Hey! Could you email or DM me on Instagram with a photo? Can’t wrap my head around the problem haha. I’ll help you there !

​ @ethdavis Sent you an email a few days a ago. Would be great to get your insights.

You can buy it at hkvstudios.com :)

@@ethdavis thx mate 👍

It’s definitely better! I’ve noticed a 3 second processing time difference between the two

@@ethdavis 3 Seconds for 1080p or higher? 3 Seconds doesn't sound that bad.

3 second difference for this Porsche scene at 4k, but I’m using an i914900 and 4090 so not sure if that’s hardware based

I said that in the video, just a different interface. Same denoise method.

@@ethdavis sorry, must have missed that. its about how it works anyway.

No probs 😁

Thanks! Yeah nuke is definitely expensive, I am an avid fusion user before switching so maybe try out that if you want a similar experience? It’s not as good but definitely good for the money! And yeah haha, thanks anything though :)

Interesting, I haven't had any different render times on my end. Maybe some crashes but never longer times. Maybe its hardware related?

@@ethdavis I have i9/4090 setup don’t think hardware issue Try rendering the same scene with “use nodes” on and off in the compositor. The compositing stage takes some time since it has to do a lot of extra denoising. The compositing stage doesn’t even happen if use nodes aren’t checked which makes the output much faster. I’m hoping I’m wrong and they’ve improved it, I’m still using 3.6 due to stability/ addon compatibility

Any compositing is going to be slower for sure, but it doesn’t add to the render time. If you compare the nodes without the denoise and with it doesn’t really effect it, maybe 3 seconds if anything? In my test. I’m also using an I9/4090 setup. This is 4.0 so maybe it’s changed? And HOPEFULLY when compositing becomes gpu based it will be rapid? We can only hope hahah

Yeah it’s a good technique! I’ve actually got a bit of a better way now. Using a blue node I’ve created and a check board input. Will do a vid about it soon :)

hahah thanks, I will next time for sure! Thanks :)

@@ethdavis No! Thank you :) One more thing ^^ Could you maybe, if you have time for that, show how you would do that all with your workflow on da vinci resolve fusion? :)

thanks! and yeah will crank it up in the future, cheers :)

thanks so much!

thanks :)

Glad to hear it! :)

my startup files doesn't save :/

There will be a mother button after you click save startup file. It’s a bit finicky

Nah, in nuke it’s blending the different noise patterns together so it stops the ‘flickering’ if you want to do the temporal denoise in blender, I reccomend watching the other videos I linked. I don’t use it because you can’t do the multi layer components

Oh I see, so when you output for Nuke you bypass the denoise nodes in Blender? In the Statix VFX video at 8 minutes he says that you can take the mulitpass version and feed it into the temporal average setup but he doesnt show the setup and so its not clear if he bypasses the noise in the multipass...

So essentially when I use Nuke. Everything is Denoised already in blender and I’m using the denoised layers in Nuke. The thing with the temporal denoising in blender, it only denoises the main image. So you lose the ability to rebuild the image back with the main layers. You can add them on top, but nothing else (like change the density of the fog

Yeah thats what I mean. Everything is denoised already in Blender and then when you take it into Nuke you do a temporal denoise on it. So its denoised a second time? Or am I missing something? Sorry if I'm coming across thick if I am missing something. 🤔

Hahah, no not quite. So what I’m doing is a form of “temporal denoising” which is blending the denoise patterns. I’m using a “vectorframleblend” node inside Nuke which is a bit different, it just blends frames together rather than denoising again. So it keeps all the same detail, just stops the flickering :) if you need any help with something, pop me a dm and I can help ya out

Thanks Eduardo! Whilst that may be the case for most scenes, you need to take it as a case by case basis. Complex albedos and materials using emission textures will benefit from denoising for sure. Not so environments, but this can help bring everything into the same ball park of noise to add your grain after the fact.

I've linked the two videos below that explain it really well :)

Thanks so much!

Will be sure to crank the volume next time! Cheers

thanks Tim!

I'll add it to my to do list :)

thanks so mcuh!

So weird, I'll crank it for the next video! Cheers

@@ethdavis appreciate the tutorial regardless. I always rush to watch your videos lol

@@dialac1 thanks so much! be better if you could hear me 🤣

@dialac1 audio sounds perfect on my phone man
