Optix IPR rendering in 2022?

[juliend-d]

Might be a noob question, but Optix denoiser used to denoise IPR renders. In maya 2020, Optix is a little check box you need to enable under denoising in AOVs, In 2022 it's an imager. Now it only denoises when the render is done. Am I missing something or did they remove the option to denoise your IPR renders? It used to be so convenient.

Hi!

OptiX Denoising is a post process effect, so it can only be applied after rendering.

However in previous versions it was applied to the forelast render level with Camera AA "1" and then again to the final level.

Now it will only be applied to the final level.

This should not cause any problems. If you need a fast preview set the Camera AA in Render Settings to "1" and if you need to check the final level then the additional denoised preview for AA "1" would not be helpful at all.
