DS2LE Path tracing build is now on Nexus as V_0.1. Here are some sample shots. Whole game should be playable end to end. Thanks to all the members from community who were part of the project.

@Xenthalos Thank you. For me this also makes the integration more performant and higher stability, although the entire tech is still very unstable, prone to artifacts, strobing.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Blaze76Skyline @TheIshikawaRin Thanks, yeah this is not a critical/required feature for PT. This just creates division, For me DS3LE-PT is currently most important thing and all these things are distraction.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@ghostinthecam That’s something I have to work on properly

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

DS3LE-COTD WIP. Lot of bug fixes in BVH and tech perspective. Testing is going well. Slowly fixing issues in area one at a time

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@TheIshikawaRin @Apuru_kun There is some local "tonemapping" it does like exposing dark areas a bit better. This is a bit complicated to implement manually

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@TheIshikawaRin @Apuru_kun Whatever happens on social media whether it was boosted I am not sure , regardless after I tried it , I can be confident this tech is not gonna replace path tracing , in fact it works better with path tracing than without it

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

Lot of actual graphics enthusiasts don't like this technology, there is nothing wrong in how I have handled. The only 2 ppl I have responded to is you and Rin, because I actually care due to our interactions in the past. Ppl will continue to make DS3 mods. As I have said DS3 will look lot better with newer texture and preset work.

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin At this point you are just looking for a reason to just dislike me, when all this is just water, oh I am ok with AI but only what I think is right, "my opinion is best opinion"

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin Moral policing, English is not my first language nor do I care to be proper about it, I will use the grammar I know

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin Other plenty great presets exist means exactly what?

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin I think I am handling it just fine. Not everyone can be made happy with way things are and that's ok for me

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@TheIshikawaRin @Apuru_kun Still doesn't give you any right to police other ppl's work and feelings.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin We have had good interactions in the past, but there comes a point where you are taking things out of context and too far , regarding what you think is proper and this is how the world should behave.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin I posted 2 times I think? How else would I show what it is doing and what it is not ? I see no reason to remove it. Ppl who want to use it will use and ppl who do not will not. I am not gonna virtue signal/gatekeep around this.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin Yes I would rather I do it in a clean way than whatever the injection mods are doing.

Here is good example. Do you actually think I should performative screaming "NO DLSS5" all Handmade full Pathtracing.

@Apuru_kun @TheIshikawaRin It was also implemented a month after the initial leak, for me it takes half a day to do this integration actually.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

I implemented due to the huge number of videos propping up about DS2LE PT + DLSS-5. The ppl are using DS2LE PT + Faraam Preset + @TriviaTex Comprehensive texture pack which does 95% of the heavy lifting and then calling the videos DLSS-5. Its a bother when mod authors are not credited
