Blender Instant Denoise

UPDATE: I hope this plugin has helped you render your scenes faster! However, in recent versions of Blender, this is no longer required :) Blender has some very easy built in ways to enable AI denoising now, which replace the need for this plugin

Enable the incredible Intel AI denoiser in Blender in a single click.

Requirements

Built and tested with Blender 2.82, but should work with any newer version too. Please report any issues above.

How to install

• Download: if you don't have experience with GitHub, simply click "Clone or Download" above, and then "Download ZIP"
• Install: install like any other blender plug-in, from Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install... and navigate to the plug-in (blender_instant_denoise.py). Make sure it is then ticked inside Blender

Usage

After install, you should see a new panel in the render properties tab. Simply click the "denoise" button to set up the new Intel AI denoiser through the compositor for your scene. Please note that currently, this removes any existing compositing nodes, so only use with scenes with no other compositing.
