Need Help Improving Blender Renders?
SpideyComic_15 started this discussion in Community

Hey! Do you need help with your Blender renders? Do they look...off? Do they not look realistic? Or, do you just need help with Blender's interface? Well, post your questions here! (If you want to post your sweet renders, check at my other column.)

Hey man! My cycles renders look grainy. So I enabled denoising. But then the render looked a bit weird. I want to have the same type of renders that are in the main page. I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Also, can you post the link to the other forum? I've been looking for it for so long.

Let's see...
For starters, I'd recommend that you get the newest version of Blender, if you haven't already.
Generally speaking, "NLM" denoising is the best.
Also, you should take up the Sampling from 128 to either 256 or even 512. These will result in cleaner renders in the end.
Most of the time, I make renders that are 512 samples and at least 2000 x 1500 pixels.

Also, what link?

I was doing the render on blender 2.92. I meant the link to the place where you said we could show our renders. I found it once, but not again.

What's NLM?

Thanks a lot! I tried to do a lot of samples, but I think you should know that I'm on a i5 computer. So the sampling just hugely affects render time for me. My normal cycles render takes about 6 minutes for a single image (without high sampling and denoising).
Sorry for these messages. Gotta send them together next time.

Glad to be of assistance!

Also, NLM (one of the denoising options) stands for "Non-Local Means." (Also, try using OpenImageDenoise as your denoising option.)

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! I'm going to upload an image soon with your render settings.

Here it is ! https://imgur.com/a/shYuWan

PS. It took me almost 12 minutes to render this image.

It looks great! Yeah, there's no noisy parts I can see!
