Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Dazzling Doom 2 mod upgrades the legendary FPS with full-blown ray tracing, looks hellishly good | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Rip and tear, with real-time path tracing Quote Everybody knows that Doom 2 is better than the original Doom. I mean, the double barrelled super shotgun and the Icon of Sin? I rest my case. The legendary FPS has just got even better courtesy of a fantastic new mod that introduces real-time, path traced ray tracing to the game, transforming the look of its hellish halls, infernal environs, and nightmarish demons. Created by the talented modder shirokii Doom 2: Ray Traced can be downloaded right now for free. Speaking in the release notes of the mod, shirokii states that introducing "real-time path tracing" to Doom 2 "allows shadows, reflections and global illumination without any prebaking. Everything has a shadow. Emissive maps contribute to lighting. Volumetric lighting is traced to simulate a dense atmosphere". Impressive. The result of this real-time path tracing means that mirrors and glass actually refract and reflect light, leading to some very atmospheric new looks for the game's classic environments and characters. I'm particularly impressed with how the Cacodemons' lightning ball attacks illuminate the demon's internals, as well as how bright and fierce Imp fireballs are, streaking through the dark. Doom 2: RAY TRACED mod - ModDB WWW.MODDB.COM Global illumination. Shadows. Reflections-Refractions. Fluid-simulated blood. Voxels. And entirely redone lighting in each DOOM II map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
