Boundless Pseudo Ray Tracing :D

Hi, everyone

This is Hash.
Ive been playing with shaders and other things to make Boundless looks like it has ray tracing for sveral weeks now. Well, the effect of course is not real tracing. Its not even close to it, but using varous effects and injection tools here is what i was able to achive

Screens here, video on Youtube is uploading right now so it will take some time before ill add link. 2-3 hour hours probably.

  1. Without the effect:

How much of a better PC do you need to run this?

It looks like the emissive textures are way more emissive and bloom is boosted. I think it could be a problem for the glowing words on signs and the GUI seemed to be affected as well.

The result is interesting, though.

My 970 potato probably can’t run it but YES (with a bit less glare though :D).

@Ovis actually this doesnt stress gpu much. i noticed a decrese of 5-10 fps.Whats funny in some places i had FPS increase compared to when i have this mod off :slight_smile: I checked on high emissive worlds as well. And it looks marvelous :wink: if you ppl want i can go and do a small stream soon :slight_smile:

:sweat_smile: and here I think it sucks now compared to release. It actually what made/makes me play boundless less than I used to.

On topic: I might have to actually play on my PC and see how this looks.

I guess the changes they made around the farming update were a disservice to dark-ish builds. But for white-ish builds like mine, no-way I would ever wanna go back to release lightings.
