RTX Remix

[Lurkmass]

Means little whether it was open sourced or not in terms of compatibility ...

If the most successful graphics mod projects are based on source code access as we see with the source engine (Portal RTX) or older id Software game engines (Quake II RTX) then RTX Remix can only flourish with only as many games out there that are reverse engineered. The goal of compatibility quickly gets out of traction with bad doucmentation, source code is loss due to poor archiving, and when contacts are now few/far in between since many of the projects participants have left the industry or are retired ...

And it's open source !!!
Now I wonder what the Nvidia naysayers will complain about

A much better version of RTX Remix for NFS Underground.

not sure this deserves it's own thread so i'll leave it here.

On a side note this is using RTX IO also apparently via vulkan and not direct storage.

NVIDIA RTX IO GPU-Accelerated Storage Technology Debuts This Month In Portal: Prelude RTX and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Accelerate texture load time in Portal: Prelude RTX by 5X, and reduce the free, remastered mod’s download size.

Nice. This is the first time RT clicked for me in a '90s game.

The original Tomb Raider path traced using RTX Remix (with impressive results).

Nice. It's robust and does not suffer from the usual popping glitches.
Which brings me to the two questions i have about Remix. (idk. if discussed already)

How do they know where the lights are?
I guess old DX was like old OpenGL, and there was a set of maybe 8 lights. You could determine them from API calls, and i guess that's all they can do. But it breaks if people implement their own way to represent lights.

How do they know what's the global scene, beyond of what's currently culled and visible on screen?
I guess they record drawn geometry, so it persists even if camera rotates away from it.

But obviously both will have lots of failure cases, explaining the popping glitches. Lights and geometry currently not visible turns on and off, but effect on GI becomes visible even if the source is not.

Only Dr. Kleiner's lab is remastered at the moment. I would expect 2 or 3 years for remaster entire game.

Stalker could look amazing, it already has that muted colour look alot of filters use to push realism.
