Why was this thread necro'd from 2016? It's 2019 and a lot of what's talked about is outdated to have any discussion about it.. especially since DS has the denoiser in the beta (not sure if it's in the official version yet)

Also the solution to grainy renders is to properly light the scene, which everyone was learning how to do back in 2016 versus what they've been used to doing in biased renderers like 3Delight.

ROFL? "Properly light the scene" yeah tell that to PaperTiger, a guy who has PERFECT lighting who also told me that DAZ is just pure shit in general and can't handle grain that well compared to Octane, VRAY, etc. Lighting properly have nothing to do with Grain. DAZy is just a shitty poor mans Octane, its bad enough that crappy junk freezes and crashes my machine all the time and its brand new with a 2070 graphic card. Plus the Denoiser is also ass, it causes quality reduction. Octane's doesn't.
