The Blender 2.81 master builds now include Intel's AI-powered Open Image Denoiser (OIDN). It's quite impressive what it can already do with a one-sample rendering:
Just for validate a cool flow of modeling! Only Blending surfaces in 5 seconds! :) (time to select curvated edges)
Cut the result in 2 parts - Shell - (here twice the same from 2 different views)
MagicaVoxel comes back with the Intel Denoiser integrated! ;)
Intel Open Image Denoiser [0.99.4.2]
Requirement: 64bit system, 4GB memory
Installation: download plugin.zip and extract the content to the program folder. (menu Win64 or MacOs plugin) https://ephtracy.github.io
Image->Filter->Denoise: denoise rendered images in the preview mode. use mouse wheel to zoom in/out, left-drag to move image.
Image->MRT: render additional albedo and normal images to help the denoiser to preserve details. note that it does not always improve the quality.
Sample->Bounce->Clamp: clamp energy to reduce noises.
Image based Lighting [0.99.4.1]
Sky->IBL: Image Based Lighting. use ".hdr" format panorama images to light the scene.
Fog: add Equi-angular sampling back to reduce noises. support fogs in othogonal views in a bounding volume.
Media: enable Sample->TR-Shadow to allow single direct lighting; enable Sample->MIS-Cloud to allow multiple direct lighting (very expensive).
Color all color options have their own color pickers which support HSV, RGB, H-Block and Hex values.
Palette Menu right click the palette view to show the pop-up menu.

Do you know an another cool one(s) free "Standalone" denoiser with the new AI technology?
This one but but it's not exactly a stand alone :)
... and alas this one following is mess to install (for me :)
Careful when you import Moi Object inside Twinmotion Scale is generally necessary
as you have several colors as material you must careful to selected all colors for scale the entiere object!
By Ephtracy the Autor of MagicaVoxel (so same ergonomy for the render! :)
Aerialod (free)
An interactive path tracing renderer for height maps.
support rendering height maps of size up to 16384^2.
support importing and exporting 8-bit and 16-bit png images
I am waiting the Strereographic projection (buttons are existing! ;)
