DS2LE Path tracing build is now on Nexus as V_0.1. Here are some sample shots. Whole game should be playable end to end. Thanks to all the members from community who were part of the project.

Dark Souls Lighting Engine retweeted
One thing that always disappointed me about DSR is how they did nothing to address the flatness of the trees in the game. I didn't quite model individual branches in my approach but I gave them much more needed "volume" on top of applying the wind animation shader on em here.

Dark Souls 2/3 Lighting Engine will always be impressive with how it completely replaces a game's renderer and lighting, eventually including path tracing too
However I am disappointed in Ragevitamins, the developer, for integrating DLSS 5. This AI slop filter has no place here
sad to say I won't be working on any more DS2LE based stuff. nor will I make a full visual mod using DS3LE when its released. I can't support a platform that would add DLSS 5. Not that it's a big deal since plenty of other great presets exist. But I will take no part.

There are some things we can’t control. The tech just exists now, and I appreciate you sharing your neutral stance on it.
You’ve done amazing work on the rest of the mod. I don’t think it’s fair at all to give you shit for implementing something fully optional.

Even if the day comes when nobody got you, I always got you, LE guy.
All this moral peacocking over an optional feature is frankly embarrassing. You try to make the game look good and that's why we like your work. Nobody comes here for lessons on what to think or believe in.

DS3LE-COTD WIP. Lot of bug fixes in BVH and tech perspective. Testing is going well. Slowly fixing issues in area one at a time

Will the final version support ultrawide resolutions or at least allow us to get to the menu to change resolution?

I don't think DLSS 5 enhances it either, the AI filter doesn't have the information it needs so its changes and adjustments are universal, it makes everything look same-y.
Stuff like giving characters' faces intense studio lighting

I've loathed DLSS 5 since it was announced, then the leak happened and I saw just how bad it is with people injecting it into any game
I don't know what happened, it had universal pushback when the announcement happened but now I'm seeing so many people seemingly okay with it

I don't dislike you, I only dislike the way you've handled this.
Everybody involved in this has given you your flowers for the amazing work you've done on LE. None of this changes that, but what it *does* is associate any modders related to the project with that decision.

Lot of actual graphics enthusiasts don't like this technology, there is nothing wrong in how I have handled. The only 2 ppl I have responded to is you and Rin, because I actually care due to our interactions in the past. Ppl will continue to make DS3 mods. As I have said DS3 will look lot better with newer texture and preset work.

Okay, I went back to check, and FromSoftServe literally didn't say that. He said the opposite of that in his second post in the thread:
it's of course not turned on by default, but it's still disgusting. I absolutely will not spend hundreds and hundreds of hours creating content for a platform that actively supports the horseshit that is DLSS 5. It's disrespectful to Fromsoft in my view.

'Policing' is an over-reaction to what's happening; you aren't being booted off of any platforms, or losing access, you're just receiving replies critical of your response/content.
At most, it's protest--but I think even that's stretching it too far.
Really, it's just scrutiny.

I think it's ugly and a bad technology to promote with your mod, and I think other people agree with that. I think normalizing its implementation is bad. I think it's evidently draining the mod's reputation, and that you're mishandling that reasonable criticism.

I think both iterations of Dark Souls Lighting Engine looking as good as they do, especially with path tracing, makes the inclusion of DLSS 5 of any form even more unnecessary, this is on top of me just hating DLSS 5 as a concept on principle.

I mean, it's funny you say that, considering you feel the need to keep clarifying it's not DLSS5 in the replies now, so clearly this is a problem you feel the need to manage:
Note for clarification none of these progress shots are with DLSS-5(NR). If it is used I will specifically indicate it was used rather than indicate "No-DLSS5" in every post I make

If you don't like DLSS5 then why have you been posting before-and-after screenshots about it, and marketing it as a feature? I think your reasoning for including it is odd, and doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
So, seeing you agree with me that it's bad, I recommend removing it.

People using DLSS5 injection mods aren't 'making your mod look bad' any more than *you* puttng DLSS5 into the official version of the mod are.
As I've said; it's not just about frame-rate, it's about artistic integrity and ethics. DLSS5 is unpopular for a very good reason.

I think you're hiding behind a handful of fans to justify the inclusion of a tech you clearly feel defensive of/have passion for. Like, I'd rather you just say 'I think it's interesting/wanted to include it for myself', instead of acting like you're beholden to those people.

Here is good example. Do you actually think I should performative screaming "NO DLSS5" all Handmade full Pathtracing.
