📋 About This Mod
Various tweaks to game's Path Tracing.
Disables two badly implemented features in order to fix two outstanding issues with local light sources:
-
[]Direct light leaking. [/]
[]Indirect light dimming. [/]
The end result will appear darker in general and a bit more unstable in fully indirectly lit scenes compared to vanilla game.
You can override amount of rays and bounces in mod's settings. Game will use "brute-force" GI method as before 2. 0. Performance heavy. I'm using 2 rays 3 bounces for screenshots on the mod page. Not recommended without Ray Reconstruction.
Additional info:
-
[]Any mod modifying the same variables is incompatible. [/]
[]If you're a collection author - restrain from adding this mod. It won't improve user experience and is meant mostly for players who want to push the limit of the game's PT implementation.[/]
