Reshade Rtgi 0361 Info

You might be wondering: Why not just download the newest version? The modding community has largely settled on 0361 as the "golden standard" for three reasons:

If you browse Reshade repositories, you’ll see many versions of shaders. So, why is 0361 often cited as a "sweet spot" by enthusiasts?

Troubleshooting: If the shader does not appear, ensure the .fx file is not in a sub-folder. 0361 expects the shader to be directly in the Shaders folder.

Reshade RTGI (Real-Time Global Illumination) 0.361 is a shader/effect pack for ReShade that provides screen-space global illumination, improved ambient lighting, and indirect lighting approximation for games that lack proper GI. It simulates bounced light, soft ambient occlusion, and color bleeding using ray-traced or ray-marched screen-space techniques (RTGI here is a screen-space algorithm, not hardware ray tracing).

ReShade RTGI (Ray Traced Global Illumination) by Pascal Gilcher (alias "Marty McFly") represents a watershed moment in post-processing graphics. Unlike native Ray Tracing (DXR) implemented in game engines like Cyberpunk 2077 or Control, which relies on dedicated hardware cores (RT cores) and deep engine integration, RTGI is a shader-based approximation. It runs via ReShade, a generic post-processing injector. reshade rtgi 0361

Version 0.361 is often cited as a "gold standard" or a highly stable milestone in the shader's development lifecycle, balancing accuracy with performance before later, more experimental iterations.

Version: 0.36.1
Author: Pascal Gilcher (Marty McFly)
Type: Ray Traced Global Illumination (Screen-Space)

Overview
RTGI v0.36.1 adds realistic indirect lighting and bounce lighting to any DirectX 9–12, OpenGL, or Vulkan game. Unlike standard screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO), RTGI traces rays in screen space to compute both occlusion and color bleeding from nearby surfaces.
