Light from real sources
Torches, lanterns, lava, the sun and the sky light the world, with soft shadows and light that bounces off what it
hits. A cave is dark until you bring light into it.
Vintage Story, path traced
A mod that draws Vintage Story with a real-time path tracer. Light comes from the sun, the sky, torches and lava, and bounces, reflects and glows the way it does in the real world. Native HDR, on NVIDIA RTX cards.

What it does
Reflections and glass
Water, metal, polished stone and glass reflect and refract what is really around them, on screen or not.
Materials for every texture
About 9,000 of the game's textures have hand-made relief, roughness, metal and glow, at the game's own pixel size.
The pixel art stays pixel art.
HDR from the first ray
On an HDR display highlights go brighter than white. SDR is drawn from the same picture.
DLSS
Ray Reconstruction cleans up each frame; frame generation and Reflex where your card has them.
Works with mods
Modded blocks get a sensible material without any work. Modders can give them better ones:
