Denoising the "graininess"
Added 2023-10-22 03:34:29 +0000 UTCThe "graininess" issue has been driving me crazy! I have played with lighting, with the cameras, read and watched all sorts of articles, many of them contradicting one another. Eventually I got fed up and drew on some of my scientific imaging background to denoise the image. First, I used GIMP and Gimmick, but it blurred the images wayyy too much. This denoising is amazing and I think I am going to use it as a batch process on the entire game!
What do you all think? It looks even better for the low-light shots of Divya.

I already denoised the entire game. It took less than 5 minutes to process all 170 some renders.
