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.

@ksharpsoul That's auto-exposure also working, same place diff angle

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

Darksouls3 Pathtracing. Archdragon Peak

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

Same area. The images shown are exposed to based on what's visible. More like can't understand simple concepts of exposure and limited range of monitors

[🔥➕ @Inferbro]

More like Dark-dragon Peak

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@AfterlifePlays @fromsoftserve No. Thats only DS3LE-Lite, this is the full version. Its not available for anyone and will only be on Nexus and Free, no need for Patreon etc

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Pneumatic_Yote Its Autoexposure, those spots when I walk to them they become bright, there is limited range in our monitors

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@rorobiin4 @DarvanTV RTX 5080. Tested Firelink perf on RTX 3070, AMD 7900XTX and 9060xt

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Phi10w Should be about ds2-pt from tests

@cyber_fella Thanks for the kind words

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@ChrisGoFlipMode Hello, It's still in development and release is months away.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@DarvanTV Should perform same as DS2. So far thats what I am observing on my Nvidia card. The geometry count is not the bottleneck at all. In many places DS3 is faster actually due to the quality of the Geometry i,e smaller less overlapping triangles

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@craigyrfc72 Thank you

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Xenthalos Each level of DS3 has almost the same amount of geo as DS2 full game. It’s geometry density is ridiculous

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@timsoret Yes. It would be better too, as the studio can setup lighting more appropriate

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Cliff8161 Will have to look what’s happening , the release is months way

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

DS3LE Pathtracing - Using the Dancer fight to fix a lot of things like 16-bit blend indices. Motion vectors are now rendered in seperate pass instead of relying on overloading the "game motion blur" pass. Dancer's weapons are emissive so they are added to BVH with emissive props.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@JasmineH76892 Not out of the box, would need lighting setup

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@Cliff8161 That is a bug and is happening inside her aoe attack

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@JKoukourakis Yeah makes sense, better to focus the tech on the game you want to make. I remember building a terrain system, its not just the rendering you also need to consider the "Editor" work for it which TBH is sometimes a lot more than the system itself.

[Dark Souls Lighting Engine @DS2LightingMod]

@JKoukourakis Thanks makes sense.
