Off-Topic: Denoising Question

Hi, so I ran into an issue with the NLM denoiser when rendering out my bowling strike scene, it appears that there is a lot of distortion. When I switched to using Optix the issue seemed to be resolved.

I assume there will be a lecture later along in this course that will explain this but I am impatient and hoping that someone here can give me the short and sweet of it.

Don’t relay too much on denoising.
Because denoising creates information where is none.
So smart algorithms can create something where was none.
But what did they generate?

Crank up the render samples!

Denoising makes your image blurry.
In the old days … the trick was to create an image 2000x2000. And then in photoshop, resize it to 1000x1000.
