mtoa - denoice all lightgroups

How do I denoice RGBA for all lightgroups ?

This is the command: 

noice

    -i 
//frames/defaultRenderLayer/defaultRenderLayer_v5__test_v101.mb.0000.exr

    -o 
//frames/defaultRenderLayer/defaultRenderLayer_v5__test_v101.mb_denoised.0000.exr 


    -ef 2 -pr 3 -sr 9 -v 0.25

    -l RGBA_Point

    -l RGBA_Dir

    -l RGBA_Spot

    -l RGBA_Area

    -l RGBA_default

    -l RGBA_Dome

    -l RGBA_Pht


This is the output: 

Loading file 
"//frames/defaultRenderLayer/defaultRenderLayer_v5__test_v101.mb.0000.exr".

Using feature AOV 'diffuse_albedo' with filter 'gaussian_filter'

Using feature AOV 'N' with filter 'gaussian_filter'

Using feature AOV 'Z' with filter 'gaussian_filter'

Working with 1 frame at 1920x1080

Will denoise AOV "RGBA", using associated variance

   Output file will be

   Output file will be

   Output file will be 
"//frames/defaultRenderLayer/defaultRenderLayer_v5__test_v101.mb_denoised.0000.exr"

Will just copy AOV "RGBA_Point", variance not found

   Output file will be

Start denoising (patch radius 3, search radius 9, variance 0.25)

(1920 x 1080 x 32)



As you can see, denoice is expecting variance for each RGBA_lightGroup and there is only variance channel for beauty RGBA
How do I tell mtoa to export variance for all lightgroups ?
I used:

setAttr "defaultArnoldRenderOptions.outputVarianceAOVs" 1;

You have to manually add variance AOVs for the other AOVs.

Ok, I added variance to RGBA, but something is still missing.

I attach a screenshot of setup, python scritp I used to make connections (ofcourse I also tried manually) and exrheader output.

Denoice still cant find what's needed.

You need to do it like this (red is one of my light groups)

Still no luck. I tried any combination I could think of.

I attach my scene which looks like your screenshot, but denoice fails to process it's output.

Could you please provide a working example? I'm stuck...

Hi there, Did you find a proper way to denoise your lightgroups in the end?
It's almost five years ago and still no luck with this.
