Ray tracing re-shader for any gpu and game

[Illuminist]

So there is a path tracing reshader being worked on by the same person that coded ansel and the filters that you see in the nvidia overlay for gforce experience.
It works on any game that is not dx12 or vulcan currently and although not as complex as dxr, it has similar results and functionalities.

Interesting to see if anyone had this already, as its only in an alpha state. It looks promising and would love to know how it performs on amd and in games.

What do you think about this?

This is not real ray tracing, next!

This is an artificial screen space filter that makes most games look worse

It still is path tracing, using what's on the screen instead of globaly. It's still relevant.

Ray tracing wise what am I supposed to be looking at, I struggle to notice any difference between on (ultra) and off on Metro Exodus,

I couldn't either when I was in the desert level. Make sure you restart the game after enabling it and wait for a sunrise or a level with lots of spot lights, fire and moon light. You will lose many fps but gain much eye candy.

Kind need things moving around to have the benefit of it, also nothing to compare it to. But. It does look very very good, not 5 years old or whatever it is, like the game is.

Looks like they are just using RT to "overpaint" direct light and add some simple bounced light while still using traditional shadowmaps and no surface material interaction. Not really using RT for what it is really useful for.

I though it used screen space path tracing?
