The ReShade RTGI (Ray Traced Global Illumination) shader is a powerful post-processing effect developed by Pascal Gilcher (also known as Marty McFly) that adds realistic, dynamic lighting to games that do not natively support ray tracing. Version 0.36.1 was a notable update in the shader's development cycle, refining how it simulates indirect light and ambient occlusion. Key Features of RTGI
Where people discuss/share builds:
Compatibility: Designed to work through ReShade’s generic post-processing injector, making it applicable to older games and modern titles alike. Installation and Usage reshade rtgi 0361 full
Version 0.361 Full is technically an "abandoned" free version. The developer has asked the community not to redistribute his files without permission. However, because 0.361 was publicly accessible at one point, many archives exist.
Diffuse Global Illumination: Simulates how light "bleeds" from one surface to another (e.g., a red wall casting a subtle red glow on a white floor). The ReShade RTGI (Ray Traced Global Illumination) shader
Dynamic Light Interactions: Light from muzzle flashes, explosions, or moving lamps can cast dynamic shadows and contribute to global illumination in real-time. Installation and Setup
Diffuse & Specular GI: Version 0.36.1 and similar updates provide controls for both diffuse (general environment light) and specular (shiny reflections) global illumination to bridge the gap between offline and real-time rendering. Version 0.36.1 Highlights Installation and Usage Version 0
Hardware Requirements: While it runs on most modern GPUs, it is demanding and intended for mid-to-high-end PCs.
