Path traced GIobal Illumination coming to ReShade!
Added 2019-04-23 23:34:13 +0000 UTCAs all patreons (patrons, patreons..?) already know from my Discord, I'm working hard on a ray traced Global Illumination method for ReShade.
This means you can have GI as drop-in in every game you want, with a few clicks. Work on such a feature started over a year ago, I posted some screenshots on the ReShade forums but eventually discarded it, due to other projects having more priority.
Since NVIDIA kicked off mainstream interest in ray tracing, I figured this is the right moment to revive that project and start making Ray Tracing accessible for everyone, which is what ReShade is all about. Alpha supporters are already testing (and apparently enjoying) the new feature! I hope to make it beta-worthy soon and also release it to the general public.
How does this relate to Minecraft Path Tracing shaders? Well, besides the path tracing part, not at all. Minecraft SEUS PTGI shaders are inherently tied to the voxel data of Minecraft, while also having data available from outside the screen, my implementation uses neither voxels nor does it access or store data outside the screen. Even though these restrictions are pretty tight, the feature itself is coming along nicely!
Major constraint as this point is performance (ray tracing, duh) - the way ray/path tracing works cannot be cut short in any way so I have to find a solution that requires as few rays as possible while not being noisy and also temporally stable.
Global Illumination is the main focus at the moment, my shader collection qUINT already has a screen-space reflection shader so there's no reason to reinvent the wheel here.
Sorry for not posting very often here, I'm in touch with the general public mostly via ReShade forums and all patreons are on my Discord anyways, so go figure.

2023-01-11 23:48:01 +0000 UTCSo the tip is check the date of the post and then go to the discord beta access and go for the relavant dates you’ll find the file

2020-12-29 07:44:46 +0000 UTCI'm not going to lie. This is a pretty atrocious format to provide downloads. I'm getting a horrible loop of 'Go to Patreon for DL -> Go to the Discord for DL -> Go to the wiki for DL -> Go to the Patreon for DL -> Go to the Discord for DL -> Go to the wiki for DL -> Go to the Patreon for DL -> Go to the Discord for DL -> Go to the wiki for DL -> Go to the Patreon for DL -> Go to the Discord for DL -> Go to the wiki for DL -> Go to the Patreon for DL. Etc etc. I don't know if you changed the download locations several times over time. I'm generally a power user, 28, been doing this stuff since I was 10, and even I'm having trouble. Now, I'm not going to stay here begging for the download link, I'll find it out eventually. Just know, this is by far the worst format I've ever seen. ...I appreciate the work put in this, though.

2019-08-12 00:10:05 +0000 UTCI would like to but if I enabled that, Patreon would charge you for every Patron-only post.

2019-07-31 10:39:34 +0000 UTCis it possible for me to pay a one time fee to be able to access this mod (sorry I'm new to Patreon)

2019-05-29 19:02:15 +0000 UTCIf I pay $20 , download the shader and after that unsubscribe, will I still get updates of the shader? Are you planning to make the shader free in a couple months?

2019-05-23 17:27:02 +0000 UTCHi. While this looks amazing, is there some sort of easy way just to get Screen Space Reflections working easily on games like Mass Effect 2? That's all I really want out of life until Ray Tracing becomes more viable. PS: I know of qUINT, but it's difficult to use/doesn't work.

2019-05-19 21:09:48 +0000 UTCI'm sure this can look awesome on No Man's Sky, I'd love to see screenshots

2019-05-17 12:18:22 +0000 UTC@BsoD Gaming: that's the point, you get the invite automatically when you donated. If I posted it publicly anywhere, web crawlers would find it and spammers would be abundant.
Pascal Gilcher
2019-05-16 05:44:48 +0000 UTCIt could be worth it to actually list a discord server address for people to join. It isn't listed here or pretty much anywhere easy to find!

2019-05-16 01:48:41 +0000 UTCId love to see a way to pay as a once off for the current version. Every modder wants a patreon sub and it's just too much to deal with

2019-05-14 02:40:00 +0000 UTCI really wanted to try this out today, for some reason my credit card was denied. Sorry.
Josh
2019-05-12 14:14:43 +0000 UTCAs soon as possible. I can't put an exact time frame on when that will be happening since I have a lot of things to try out and improve performance before it becomes more than a screen archer gimmick.
Pascal Gilcher
2019-05-08 12:49:09 +0000 UTCHI, I'd love to try out this new feature and support you but 20$ is a bit too much for me. When will it become beta available?
PatreonNot
2019-05-07 16:30:17 +0000 UTCIt's in the $20 tier for now due to it being alpha.
Jared Tracton
2019-05-07 15:11:32 +0000 UTCIt's screen space because of limitations with reshade, and screen space is the easiest brute force method of adding RT. If you want real RT in your games, might wanna contact the developer.
Jared Tracton
2019-05-07 15:10:36 +0000 UTCSo, is this in screen space? You say that you can't access or store any data outside the screen, so it just sounds like it's an ordinary path tracer operating within the confines of screen space data. If it is, I'm sorry but, what's really the point of this? Sure, get some natural lighting, but it's all in screen space. Look away, or turn the camera even just slightly, everything disappears because the path tracer doesn't have data for what's off screen.

2019-05-07 04:59:30 +0000 UTCHey is the rt feature only on the 20$ version or also on the 5$ one? Cause im thinking of getting it since it looks really interesting.

2019-05-07 01:41:43 +0000 UTCI saw it, thanks a lot! Hope you enjoy it, I'm eagerly waiting for some screenshots!

2019-04-24 12:57:15 +0000 UTCI'm so excited for this that I just upgraded my patreon membership to get access to the alpha :D
