Renderotica

When i add the shell to my render everything seems fine, i add an HDRI and denoiser however and it starts to come up like this? I've been trying to fix this issue for ages at a time and its frustrating, here is what it looks like as well as the final render 

i am using IMAGUR because of the file size limit. here are the links

I'd maybe try increasing the pixel filter radius to 1 and put the start iteration right down to 8 or 9 as that will smooth out the image as its being rendered from the start of the process. You could also try maxing out the max samples and setting the max time to 0 then also max out the rendering quality and time. Also you'll need to bear in mind as well that if you have an AMD graphics card GPU rendering will not work which will make the denoiser tool impossible to use.

i see, i will try these options, im also using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card i set the HDRI to scene only and the shell works but it doesent give me the lighting i need

Its the post denoiser thats causing this issue is there a way around it?

There's possibly several things affecting the render, but it's really hard to tell.

Usually I can figure out what is breaking USM in a render from the picture but this one has me stumped. I've never seen it appear this way.

Can you send me a copy of the scene file to the email provided in the readme document? That will be a good place to start :)
