It's been a long time since I posted an update here, once again I'd like to thank all of you for your support during the last few months. After many hours of research and development, I've finally got an update worth building an incredible amount of hype for. So without further ado I'd like to announce BetterRTX's newest preset:
Gilded Graphics!
Gilded Graphics is a completely new take on the style of BetterRTX, introducing comprehensive changes to the entire style. Every aspect of lighting, down to the smallest details, now aligns with the pixel grid of the game! This system is entirely resource pack independent as well, adapting to the resolution of any resource pack (32x lighting for 32x packs!).
This preset doesn't lock lighting to just the block grid though. Unlike Vibrant Visuals, every aspect of lighting will align to the grid of the very surface it's illuminating. That means no matter the angle or position of surfaces like entities or blocks, light will align to every texture!
I've attached an .rtpack file you can use to install the preset. Simply run the installer command listed on https://bedrock.graphics/, and after selecting the Minecraft instance you'd like to install to (be that preview or the normal version), just drag and drop the file onto the installer window to install the preset.
Currently the best resource pack to use with the preset is the newest version of Defined PBR, which now supports all features in the Spring to Life drop and fixes all issues with toggling RTX on/off! It will be attached here as well, but the preset will still work with any other pack.
Feel free to post any screenshots, videos, or other content about the upcoming preset! I'm going to be using a closed early access program to gather essential feedback before the preset goes public. If anyone asks, be sure to mention that more news on getting into the early access program will be released on the Minecraft RTX discord. Enjoy the new update, and be sure to let me know your thoughts here or on the Minecraft RTX discord.
*The pack addons for Defined PBR are still coming, sorry for the delays! Fow now all of the older addons except the fog ones (Cinematic/Subtle) are likely working well.
