InnoBright has released Altus 1.0, a multi-platform Monte Carlo render denoising system that promises to significantly reduce the rendering time required to produce quality images (from 50% to 90% reduction of original rendering time, according to the company). Altus works with renderers that use Monte Carlo methods and currently supports Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift3D, Corona, etc. It’s available as a standalone application and as an integrated plugin for specific 3D software.
Also of note, InnoBright is working together with other researchers in the field to achieve real-time filtering of the noise of an image. Read the FAQ and find out more on InnoBright.
