De-noising with Arnold in Maya
• Maya: Speedy Denoising [Arnold]
(I could not get this to work - RGBA Denoise Sub-menu did not show in Render window)

• Maya: GPU and CPU Render Tests [Arnold]
(I got this to work but it only used 20% of my GTX 1080 so took just as long to render with an image with equal noise)
