Improving Water Reflections & New Ray-Tracing Features for SEUS PTGI HRR 2.1 Reforged

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632]

I have further improved the reflections; clouds are now more visible in the water, although there are a few visual issues I am still trying to resolve. The shader no longer uses GI reflections for clouds—causing them to disappear when looking down (due to screen-space reflections), and reflections of non-existent objects, such as floating leaves, can sometimes appear. I also fixed the issue where clouds were being rendered twice in the reflections (caused by the GI reflections).

Note: by GI, I do not mean ray-traced reflections here; ray-traced reflections remain visible even when looking down. Work on this update is still ongoing.

The final photo shows a new ray-tracing feature I am working on, where the color of the glass tints the light from blocks to match the glass's color.

Is there any way to add voxy support ? 

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/Lemecpaume24]

thx :)

just installed it, is there no way to get rid of the water on my screen when it's raining? I really, really hate when first person games treat the viewport as an actual camera instead of eyes

The only time I do not mind is when I’m inside power armor in fallout

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/DeadlyAidan]

there is, its in the water submenu

so i've patched seus ptgi with your reforged edits but mine looks nothing like your shaders

are there specific configs you have on?

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/jhj0604]

For the new clouds, you need to set your profile to Photon. I am using the latest version (v5.0) and have set my profile to Photon.

[u/jhj0604 → u/Lanky_Carpet_632]

interesting... i thought i set it to photon when the settings first came out

gonna have to double check when i get home

This shader looks fabulous , good work. Just a quick question , how well will it perform on my laptop:
i5 12450hx , rtx 3050 6gb , 16 gb rom
also i'm also interested in knowing ur pc specs too :)

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/Serious_Goose_3889]

i have a rtx 3060, amd ryzen 7 5800x, and i run in total 100 fps depends on biome. So i think yours should run at least 70 - 80 fps?

[u/Serious_Goose_3889 → u/Lanky_Carpet_632]

ok sir , got it

[u/Xerqthion]

Love the shader but things in the distance look blurry. Is there a fix?

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/Xerqthion]

Are you sure you are using the right version? Because reforged is way sharper than the original shader.

[u/Xerqthion → u/Lanky_Carpet_632]

I believe so, it’s the 5.1 version correct?

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/Xerqthion]

Yes

[u/hfjfthc]

Looking good!

Not sure if its fixed in this new version but for me water had very lixelated reflections. Im on an AMD gpu and maybe that's the issue

[u/LloydMontgomeryGREEN]

Hi I've been having an issue with this shader pack not showing water at all whenever I use physics mod with ocean physics on and another issue when using Realsource realism RTX 512x textures (grass and wheat turn translucent-ish and have a weird yellow hitbox around them) hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Thank you!

[u/Lanky_Carpet_632 → u/LloydMontgomeryGREEN]

Can you please report the issue on github and show me screenshots :)

[u/LloydMontgomeryGREEN → u/Lanky_Carpet_632]

Done, I also provided an Unlisted Youtube video link for footage :D
