Arnold Denoiser AOV

[Prince_Ude]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to use the C4DtoA Arnold Denoiser output AOV in a compositing app like Fusion?.

After applying the denoiser, it exports a denoised beauty layer which overshadows other aov passes.

I’d appreciate a lot if i could get a workflow walkthrough regarding this issue.

Apply the denoiser to the other AOVs?

Or work with the non-denoised beauty.

The beauty layer is made up of different AOVs, adding and using the denoised beauty layer in compositing will prevent me from working separately on other AOVs. So, is there a workflow that allows me to extract the denoise data and use it as another AOV pass in a compositing app like Fusion?. Is it possible to have the denoise data on a seperate AOV pass (like SSS, Diffuse direct, Specular Indirect)... rather than a denoised beauty layer.

Just following up here. I'm experimenting with exporting aov's for use in After Effects but was hoping to have them de-noised. Is that possible?

You can denoise all or specific AOVs on the Selection tab of the denoiser imager.

For the expression syntax look at the Layer Selection section here: https://help.autodesk.com/view/ARNOL/ENU/?guid=arnold_user_guide_ac_denoising_ac_denoiser_oidn_html

I should have checked there before posting. Sorry about that. Thanks though!
