Mirror support in PT using PrimarySurfaceReplacement (NRD supports PSR). The Primary surface parameters are replaced by what the mirror sees rather than the camera. Normals, Color data is reprojected into the mirror from surroundings as BVH contains lower resolution data.

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.

Path tracing adds shadows to everything which is also indirect bounce light shadows. You can see as my character walks through the mansion, the shadows and the reflections on armor have no leaks and always correct.

DS3 - More path tracing, running at 1440p Native with DLAA on RTX 5080 , power limited to 250w. D3 Geometry and Assets are significantly higher than DS2 as it was released as a PS4 game at 30 FPS

Torch shadows and lighting are handled special in Path tracer mode. Torch is always sampled, Shadows are rendered considering the size of the light. Shadows are denoised using NRD-Sigma before final composition.

A walk through of Beubeu's shaded woods with his Faraam preset lighting setup. Lots of rock meshes redone, ground clutter, completely transforming the zone.

Brute force Path tracing on RTX 5090. As an experiment this is using Ultra-performance (480p) upscaled to 1440p. No denoiser only DLSS-SR. Doing 120 paths per pixel at 50FPS. Here is the video. Thanks to discord user Perhapsy for doing the testing. This is not even efficient use of such high ray count

Multiple lights all casting shadows for every object with confidence inputs being fed into NRD. I simplified the confidence to only detect Shadow/UnShadowed as NRD handles smooth changes in lighting already.

$Water render updates in #darksouls3 lighting engine. The water optics are now better simulated using absorption and scattering functions instead of basic colors. Includes a small demo which also shows some SSR fixes as well as refraction updates.$

SHARC Radiance cache, no raster involved in this, all the data/lighting using the BVH only, Main pass uses the raster GBuffer as primary, but for SHARC the trace always starts from camera. Sky pixels can be noticed as NRD ignores those pixels and doesn't write them

Meshes can be made light sources in ray tracing. This is only a test, colors are baked in that Cathedral pane. Thanks for エイブ - Abraham Link for remaking pane mesh and discord use DrNova for the texture edit. I will add texture sampling support for emissive only sources.

PT mode in some areas will remove all lights which don't have actual source like fire, here you can see some torch gameplay.
