Rendering

Rendered mode, first.

• Engine is Eevee by default, a quickie render engine.
• Cycles is the GPU/CPU-capable render engine.
  • Preferences / System shows the render devices available.
• F12 is quick render.
• Samples: Viewport gets lower samples for speed.
  • Render samples are higher to reduce noise, but there are limits.
  • Denoisers?
  • Layer panel, Denoising Data.
  • Then in the Compositing view, Shift+A to add in Denoise module.
    • Check "Use nodes" in top left corner (in compositor) and it will show up if the Composition view is "empty" after a render.
  • Take output of "Noisy Image" and tie it to the Denoise module at Image.
  • Then Normal to Normal, Albedo to Albedo, then Image output to Image over at Composite.
