Intel denoiser on M1 and feedback on bug submission Nov. 15, 2023, 9:08 p.m.

Hi,

I submitted a bug today because anytime I enable the Intel denoiser on Apple Silicon (Mac M1), Houdini crashes.

Support came back with this comment "Unfortunately the M1 chip cannot support the Intel Denoiser."

That is not right, Arnold and Redshift support the Intel Denoiser on Apple Silicon (M1) and https://www.openimagedenoise.org [www.openimagedenoise.org] mention it is supported.
I opened up another ticket mentioning the MPlay button does not do anything in the Karma ROP and was asked some basic questions which led me to believe the support team did not take the time to even try if it was working for them.

This is one of the reason I do not like submitting bug reports, it's ending up generating a lot of unnecessary back and forth.

Thanks

It has been a few months and I was hoping to hear from the dev if there is a slight change for absorption and nested dielectrics to be supported in the next release? I render quite a bit of liquids in glass and would really appreciate for this feature to be implemented.

I have set the refraction and reflection limit to 16 but it does not help, I get the same result.

Nested dielectrics are currently unsupported in both regular Karma and KarmaXPU.

For reference, check this comparison table (need to scroll down a bit): https://www.sidefx.com/faq/karma/ [www.sidefx.com]

But I'm not even sure this is the problem in your case, it may be simply too low of a refraction depth (this defaults to 4 now, it was 10 on mantra ROPs).
