Key Features and Components

  • Fast ray tracing denoising solution
  • NRD is designed to work with 0.5 or 1 ray per pixel
  • Native implementation of the NRD API using engine capabilities
  • Includes three denoisers: ReLAX, ReBLUR, and SIGMA
  • Works with DX11, DX12, and Vulkan compatible engines on Windows 64bit
  • Currently supports the following signals:
  • Diffuse (with embedded ambient occlusion)
  • Specular or reflections (with embedded specular occlusion)
  • Shadows from an infinite light source (sun shadows)



Requirements
 

Operating System
  • Windows 10 version 2004, SDK v191041
    • Dependencies
  • NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1000 series or higher, AMD RX 6000 series or higher
