it's becoming interesting - new RTX 2070 SUPER will also support NVlink

My previous statement was just about NVidia's tech which i still don't like that much. But OIDN & BCD are computed using CPU (HW agnostic) and both are simply Great (1st for previews, 2nd for final 5%) :) Yup, even in RT viewport. I learned, grown... evolved in different way. Collective resources we...

rather use geometry for twigs & leaves instead of opacity, it's lighter and also much faster to render
at first, it may seem more work, but in the end it all pays off, especially in a case like yours or with grasslands

Are you getting some green tinting there? Is this normal?
I'm finding out it's quite difficult to get atmosphere renderings without some greenish tint along...

Great works otherwise.

Check https://openimagedenoise.github.io/ Intel's way, HW agnostic, fast and from my experience, feels better than NVidia's - which, after a while of using, "revealed" to me in producing kind of a strange, "cellulitis-alike" splotching pattern. Can easily be observed with low sample renders fed into...

in some scenes my computer just crashes with the lates 418.81 and hangs with 418.91, no luck for me then.

Yup, seen few users reporting OCL issues with the latest (418.81) NVidia drivers. Simply roll back to the last working version.

Strangeness with Indigo shows even on high CPU core count...

From what i gathered, other engines (Corona, Arnold, VRay...) don't exhibit such an issue.

yes now works !!! thank you, thak you all.

Great! A perfect way to start jollyful days

That's why demos are available & users are here sharing experience. IMHO, it's nothing to worry about, just don't follow the hype blindly, but get experienced yourself. I got a Maxwell (Q M5000) and a Pascal (GTX 1060) cards so it's a bit trickier to "update drivers" since they don't fully comply, b...

Well, i've been observing "latest NVidia drivers" occasional breaking OCL rendering for more than couple of years already, why i always have a backup drivers ready & i've recently noticed elsewhere that v.417 is again broken...
didn't test it as i don't have to

if you haven't yet, uninstall automatic windows drivers > install NVidia ones (if latest don't work, try with previous versions)

Or simply mimic, recreate reality It's Indigo!

Yes, it can be done via OCL. IMO, denoising is worthless and expensive hack considering spent resources VS return value . Especially, when a feature is locked to specific platform. Also, an argument "beneficial for previews" doesn't hold any substance - previews are previews & PT renders can simply ...

Alembic object renders flat shadet in Cycles while in indigo it renders smooth.
Why is that so?

Are you using Edge modifier to define edge shading? IIRC, Blendigo doesn't read Normals setting from Blender.
Can you post example file to check?

confirming black/broken .exr (either with: "Save Image", "Save Un-tonemapped Image" or "Save Layers & Channels")
Tested with: Irfan (black), GIMP (exr plugin crash), picturenaut (black), blender (black)... (png & exr attached)
