If you haven't read the post for the release of SEUS PTGI E1, I highly recommend doing so. https://www.patreon.com/posts/seus-ptgi-e1-is-17814179
In short, this new version provides an improvement in the filtering stage (where the extremely noisy path-traced GI gets filtered to a smooth result) and improvements to the speed of the path tracing itself.
You can still enable half-resolution tracing (HALF_RES_TRACE) in the shader options, but full-resolution tracing is enabled by default. You can also choose whether lapis lazuli blocks or redstone blocks give off light (GLOWING_REDSTONE_BLOCK and GLOWING_LAPIS_LAZULI_BLOCK).
The requirements for running this shaderpack are unchanged from SEUS PTGI E1 and are as follows:
- OptiFine 1.12.2 HD E2 Ultra or newer
- Options > Video Settings > Details > Alternate Blocks: OFF
- Options > Video Settings > Quality > Natural Textures: OFF
- Options > Video Settings > Shaders > Shadow Quality: 1x
- Options > Video Settings > Shaders > Old Lighting: DEFAULT
- Options > Video Settings > Shaders > Normal Map: OFF
- A resource pack with NO CUSTOM BLOCK MODELS
Please, provide feedback in the Discord server, I'm eager to hear your opinions!
