Hello,
I have a ton of white noise throughout my entire sand dunes, and I was hoping that I could get some advice to get rid of it to make a clearer picture. This render is prior to any compositing.
I had this throughout the entirety of the course, and comparing it to your renders it looks like I either did something wrong very early on, or I hadn't set up something correctly in the beginning.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cycles biggest weakness is the potential for noisy renders. Usually the relationship is longer render times = less noise, shorter render times = more noise. However recently a feature called Denoising has helped bridge the gap. Here's where I enable that setting.
