Denoiser script

I'm trying to install a denoiser script:https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts9/mcjdenoise I've installed the denoiser and Imagemagick as per the instructions above but then... what? It says 'run the script' and I don't know what that means. Run it from inside Daz? How? It's not showing up in either the Scripts menu at the top or the scripts in my Smart Content. I don't actually know what script I'm supposed to be looking for, but searching 'denoise' doesn't find anything. I looked at the ReadMe but I didn't understand any of it. Installing the files in Terminal pushed me beyond my knowledge. I'm on Mac, which I know creates a world of problems with Daz, but I did download the Mac specific files. Can someone explain to me what I'm supposed to do in simple terms, please? Imagine I have the coding knowledge of a concussed kitten.

  • Smart Content requires that the fiels have, and you import, metadata. The Scripts and Favouites menus require that you make the file a Custom Action (right-click menu). You need to find the file on disc, either in a file browser then drag it into the Viewport or - if you place it in a Daz Studio content directory - by going to the Content Library pane and looking under Daz Studio Formats>[the content library you used]>Scripts>MCasual

  • Right, the problem was the Mac installer didn't actually install it for Mac. That's why I couldn't find it anywhere. I eventually managed to get it installed and opened (through windows>panes>scripts) but I'm still running into a problem Google can't solve. I get this error message: ERROR /Users/etaktrash/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp/temp_bat.command: line 2: /Volumes/Daz Boot/Documents/Daz3D/Studio/My Daz Connect Library/Scripts/libOpenImageDenoise.0.dylib: Permission denied ERROR magick: unable to open image '/Users/etaktrash/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp/temp_out.pfm': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3638. process exited ERROR /Users/etaktrash/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp/temp_bat.command: line 2: /Volumes/Daz Boot/Documents/Daz3D/Studio/My Daz Connect Library/Scripts/mcasual/mcjDenoise2021ForMac.dsa: Permission denied ERROR magick: unable to open image '/Users/etaktrash/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp/temp_out.pfm': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3638. process exited I don't know what the temp file it's trying to open is. It hasn't worked with any image I've loaded into it.
  • Did you download the Mac denoising tool, since the other is Windows only:

    For macOS we provide Open Image Denoise as a TGZ file: oidn-0.9.0.x86_64.macos.tar.gz

    If so, it may well be a permission/security issue - Macs 9and Windows) have added layers of protection since the script was released. You might want to ask the mac experts in https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/731016/the-new-mac-faq#latest
