Pixar's RenderMan 26 Introduces Interactive Machine Learning Denoising

Thanks to machine learning, the Denoiser is so accurate, that it significantly reduces rendering times while maintaining high fidelity, and “has been occasionally called ‘magic’ by industry veterans”. It’s perfect for demanding applications like animation and VFX since it manages to preserve all the intricate details.

Interactive Denoiser is capable of removing noise on images with very low average sample counts and is predictive of the full offline Denoiser, which revolutionizes rendering workflow and reduces iteration times.
