The shader, developed by Pascal Gilcher (known as Marty McFly ), represents a pivotal moment in post-processing technology, effectively "democratizing" ray tracing for thousands of legacy and modern games that lack native support. By injecting code that accesses a game’s depth buffer, this version of the Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) shader simulates realistic light behavior—such as light bouncing and color bleeding—to transform flat, rasterized scenes into immersive, photorealistic environments.

Unlike native hardware-accelerated ray tracing, RTGI 0.36.1 is a effect. It calculates lighting based only on the pixels visible to the player. ReShade RTGI | Ray Traced Global Illumination The shader, developed by Pascal Gilcher (known as

To understand why RTGI 0361 is so impactful, we have to understand what it replaces. Traditional game rendering relies on . In a rasterized world, an object exists, and a light source hits it. The engine calculates how bright that object should be based on the direct line of sight to the light.
While 0361 is stable, it is not perfect. Here are three bugs you will inevitably encounter.
