In the world of high-end PC gaming, represents a pursuit of visual perfection that blurs the line between software modification and digital art. Created by Pascal Gilcher (known online as Marty McFly), this specific version of the Ray-Traced Global Illumination shader for ReShade acts as a bridge for games that never originally supported hardware-accelerated ray tracing. 💡 The Core Technology
Always use the latest iMMERSE Launchpad as the first shader in your list to ensure motion vectors are captured correctly.
Download the standard legacy shader packs (Standard effects, Quint, SweetFX) when prompted. 2. Integrating the RTGI Shader
In the ReShade in-game menu, under RTGI.fx :
ReShade is a software tool that allows users to inject post-processing effects into their games, enhancing the visual fidelity and overall gaming experience. It works by hooking into the game's rendering pipeline and applying various effects, such as anti-aliasing, depth of field, and motion blur.
RTGI looks best when paired with a high-quality Bloom shader. The RTGI provides the shadows and bounce, while Bloom provides the "energy" of the light source. Compatibility and Requirements
Locate the shader in your list and look for the Extra Quality checkbox.
RTGI is a screen-space ray tracing shader, meaning it operates on depth data rather than true 3D geometry. While not a native RTX implementation, it creates highly accurate, temporally stable global illumination that drastically improves upon game-native lighting.
: Adjust the slider to ensure thin objects (like fenceposts or character feet) are grounded without creating dark or bright halos. Technical Requirements RTGI (Diffuse) - Marty's Mods Guides
