Changelog

Changes:

  • Added 2 additional spatial reuse passes for disocclusion. This is another big improvement to ReSTIRs noise while in motion.
  • Improved clarity of simple lighting in motion
  • Added new option ReSTIR Combined Gi, which passes Gi through ReSTIRs denoiser, improving clairity at the cost of performance and noise.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix black stripes on Gi with low resolution
  • Fix more Photon issues with LOD chunks
  • Fix ReSTIR breaking when handheld lighting is disabled
  • Fix ReSTIR denoiser artifacts when using low render resolution

Supported shaders

  • Photon (requires latest version from Github)
  • BSL v10.1 (exact version)
