About this mod
Adds Real Global Illumination and Ambient Occlusion to Grim Dawn.
- Permissions and credits
This one uses completely new shaders to add Global Illumination and Ambient Occlusion to Grim Dawn.
This mod has 2 presets, one for the free DAMP_RT GI shader and also one for Pascal Gilcher's RTGI shader (You have to buy this one.)
*The Reshade presets are all free ofcourse but the RTGI shader file from Pascal Gilcher is not. so if you don't have this or are not interested in buying it then just use the free one (DAMP_RT). I am not the author of the Pascal Gilcher RTGI shader.
All screenshots are taken with the Free version (DAMP_RT).
lol I just realized how big the candles and scrolls in this game are xd.
Preset Names
DAMP_RT (Free): GrimDawnGI-DampRT.ini
Pascal Gilcher (Need to buy): GrimDawnGI-qUINT_rtgi.ini

I didnt like the ingame AA so I am using AA from ReShade. This can make text look a bit weird, so if you are using ingame AA then disable both FXAA and SMAA in reshade. (open ReShades menu in game (Home by default) and disable FXAA and SMAA)
