Radiant Realism - Ray Tracing ReShade Preset

This is a ReShade preset with available depth of field, conditional LUT and color enhancement, ambient occlusion and a ray tracing shader.

Its goal is to provide believable images in all scenarios, with authentic color palettes and realistic lighting effects. ✨

Ray tracing technology

This ray tracing shader I wrote uses a simple ray stepping technique to trace rays through the scene and accumulate color and distance information along the rays.

Keep in mind that this shader is not a complete ray tracing solution and does not provide the same level of accuracy and realism as hardware accelerated ray tracing.

However, the benefit is that it is not very expensive on performance while still producing relatively good ray tracing effects. 🎮
