Description

1

Step 1: UI Textures

This feature allows you to tag all textures known to be part of the UI. This will enable Remix to skip them when Path Tracing and render a complete UI view on top.

2

Step 1.2: Worldspace UI Textures (optional)

Like Step 1, this section allows you to tag UI textures, but this time for world-space rendering (as opposed to screen-space) – think user interface elements that exist in the 3D game world with the characters, not as a flat overlay on the screen.

3

Step 2: Parameter Tuning

This feature allows you to specify the coordinate system used in the game, to help ensure Remix can match the rendering correctly, and that captures look correct with the proper up direction in the Remix App. You can also enable shader-based vertex capture here and adjust its parameters. (See the Parameter Tuning Chart Below)

4

Step 3: Sky Textures (optional)

This feature allows you to adjust the look of the Path Traced sky, as well as tune compatibility parameters to allow for better sky detection.

5

Step 4: Ignore Textures (optional)

This feature allows you to ignore certain objects by texture entirely.

6

Step 5: Ignore Lights (optional)

This feature allows you to ignore certain lights by texture entirely.

7

Step 6: Particle Textures (optional)

This feature allows you to tag certain textures as belonging to particles. This enables Remix to detect these particles properly and render them correctly in Path Tracing.

8

Step 7: Decal Textures (optional)

Like Step 7, but for dynamic decals. Dynamic decals are used for effects like bullet holes that appear during gameplay. Static decals are parts of the map.

9

Step 7.1: Dynamic Decal Textures

Like Step 7, but for dynamic decals. Dynamic decals are used for effects like bullet holes that appear during gameplay. Static decals are parts of the map.

10

Step 8.1: Legacy Cutout Textures

This feature allows you to tag certain textures as alpha tested (“cutout”) even if the original game used alpha blending to represent surfaces with “holes.” For a Path Tracing renderer there is a big difference in whether alpha testing or blending is used, so this tagging can help these surfaces render correctly.

11

Step 8.2: Water Textures

Like Decals, tagging Terrain textures can help Remix render terrain correctly.

12

Step 8.3: Water Textures (optional)

Like Decals and Terrain, tagging water textures can help Remix render water correctly.

13

Step 9: Material Options (optional)

This feature allows you to adjust the properties of the Remix default Path Tracing material. This material gets used if there is no material replacement found for a given mesh or texture in the game (this happens when you have no mod loaded for example or decide to turn replacements off). You can also set modifiers for PBR materials in general – whether default or loaded from a Mod – that can adjust their general properties like roughness or color scale. (See the Material Options Chart Below)

Description

1

Scene Unit Scale

rtx.sceneScale

1.000

Defines the ratio of rendering unit (1cm) to game unit, i.e. sceneScale = 1cm / GameUnit.

2

Scene Z-Up Checkbox

Checked

3

Scene Left-Handed Checkbox

Unchecked

4

Unique Object search Distance

rtx.uniqueObjectDistance

300.000

[cm]

5

Skybox Transformer Enabled Checkbox

1.000

6

Skybox Transformer Scale

Checked

7

Shader-based Vertex Capture Checkbox

rtx.useVertexCapture

Unchecked

When enabled, it injects code into the original vertex shader to capture final shaded vertex positions. Is useful for games using simple vertex shaders, that still also set the fixed function transform matrices.

8

Vertex Color Strength

rtx.vertexColorStrength

0.6

A scalar to apply to how strong vertex color influence should be on materials.

A value of 1 indicates that it should be fully considered (though do note the texture operation and relevant parameters still control how much it should be blended with the actual albedo color), a value of 0 indicates that it should be fully ignored.

Description

1

Legacy Material Defaults

2

Use Albedo/Opacity Texture (if present) Checkbox

rtx.legacyMaterial.useAlbedoTextureIfPresent

Checked

A flag to determine if an “albedo” texture (a qualifying color texture) from the original application should be used if present on non-replaced “legacy” materials.

3

Albedo

rtx.legacyMaterial.albedoConstant

R: 255 G: 255 B: 255

The default albedo constant to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials. Should be a color in sRGB colorspace with gamma encoding.

4

Opacity

rtx.legacyMaterial.opacityConstant

1.0

The default opacity constant to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials. Should be in the range 0 to 1.

5

Emissive Color

rtx.legacyMaterial.emissiveColorConstant

R: 0, G: 0, B: 0

The default emissive color constant to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials. Should be a color in sRGB colorspace with gamma encoding.

6

Emissive Intensity

rtx.legacyMaterial.emissiveIntensity

0.0

The default emissive intensity to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials.

7

Roughness

rtx.legacyMaterial.roughnessConstant

0.7

The default perceptual roughness constant to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials. Should be in the range 0 to 1.

8

Metallic

rtx.legacyMaterial.metallicConstant

0.1

The default metallic constant to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials. Should be in the range 0 to 1.

9

Anisotropy

rtx.legacyMaterial.anisotropy

0.0

The default roughness anisotropy to use for non-replaced “legacy” materials. Should be in the range -1 to 1, where 0 is isotropic.

A scale factor to apply to all albedo values in the opaque material. Should only be used for debugging or development.

17

Enable dual-layer animated water normal Checkbox

rtx.opaqueMaterial.layeredWaterNormalEnable

Checked

A flag indicating if layered water normal should be enabled or disabled.

Note that objects must be properly classified as animated water to be rendered with this mode.

18

Layered Motion Direction Sliders

rtx.opaqueMaterial.layeredWaterNormalMotion

-0.250, 0.0

A vector describing the motion in the U and V axes across a texture to apply for layered water.
