My weird experiments make the rounds

First comment has almost 10 likes and it's decrying RTX Remix requiring you to have an online account to use

People are so fucking stupid

[quaint kelp]

just delete it cause its false

the comment

[vagrant kernel]

Imagine making shit up in your smooth brain and then getting angry at it

[pine coral]

Never mind AI hallucinations. Smooth brain hallucinations is the real detriment to society.

[quaint kelp]

replied under that with german translator

[vagrant kernel]

When I say "but don't worry about that for now" and it gets put on the to-do list

[candid mirage]

To do then not now 🧠

[dull swallow]

textures really dont want to texture no matter what the ai tries

[vagrant kernel]

How they be looking currently

[dull swallow]

i think tt games js hates ppl

i might try again for dx11 titles now that i have this knowledge

but this game is going nowhere

[vagrant kernel]

When you try to ignore one of the busted textures, does it disappear entirely or is there potentially another layer beneath?

[dull swallow]

dissapear

everything dissapears

[vagrant kernel]

So you ignore one texture and everything is gone? What does the texture picker look like?

[dull swallow]

texture picker has some textures for characters, then the purple textures, and yes i ingore one texture and it all goes poof

[vagrant kernel]

Hmm, the shaders should give info about whats going on with texturing in this game. The AI said they're compiled into the exe? Tell it to pull the shader data and look what might explain this texturing behavior and to fix it so more individual textures show up.

[dull swallow]

trust me this game needs rtx

[dull swallow]

Its all compressed to a seperate rendertarget

Ok a different priority than 0

Changing priority causes the game to not boot anymore

[sharp seal]

Wat, okay maybeee but it looks good already

[dull swallow]

lole

[dull swallow]

from that angle yes

its all screen space

js saying it cuz i have access to modding tools esc items

WHERE'S MY FUCKING TOKENS

[rose oasis]

it just really needs DLSS

something that can be done with these tools btw

the game has TAA so it already has jitter and motion blur

it shouldn't be too hard to do it

[golden raven]

guh

[rose oasis]

okay

for realsies though i'm gonna use Luma and try to integrate DLSS into that game

[sharp seal]

Can you use that to add DLSS to games that doesn't really have support for it? Like some old games

[rose oasis]

luma requires DX11 sadly

[sharp seal]

Before upscalers were a thing

[rose oasis]

and dlss requires 64 bit. i tried adding DLSS through luma into burnout paradise remaster but the 64 bit limitation stopped it

[sharp seal]

Not like optiscaler that swaps out upscalers

[sharp seal]

Wait remastered isn't 64bit

I'm surprised

🤨

[rose oasis]

this is hell. ofc it's 32 bit

[sharp seal]

I wanted to add dlss to battlefield 3. It has dx11 support

do not ask me why it would need dlss

[muted sun]

just adding dlaa support is pretty easy

you just need the motion vectors, depth, and jitters

[solemn epoch]

This is the last game ever made on RenderWare

[sharp seal]

do you need the projection matrix to jitter? Like what's the catch here

(I hope I said that right)

[muted sun]

you need the projection matrix or the jitter array

if a game uses smaa t2x you can usually find the jitter array pretty easy

smaa t2x usually uses (0.25 -0.25 -0.25 0.25) for the jitters so you can just use cheat engine to find that

and replace it with halton

[sharp seal]

Sounds interesting

what if a game doesn't have support for TAA, such that there is no jitter array

[muted sun]

you just apply the jitter to the projection matrix

the big limiting factor here is the game's motion vectors

[alpine dove]

luma?

[rose oasis]

https://github.com/Filoppi/Luma-Framework

[alpine dove]

ah ok thx

[sharp seal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HDR_Den/comments/1r1kecv/just_cause_3_is_now_playable_in_hdr_and_with_dlss/

wow

[rose oasis]

yeah i tested it

it's really good

@muted sun inspired me to try luma mods with his work on dying light 1 using the vibe tools

btw guys... terrain and LODs work properly now in skyrim

an unfortunate downside to the map working: it quickly fills up VRAM

a positive: oncei implement the custom culling, it shouldn't be a problem anymore (when the map is closed, it won't render anymore)

[alpine dove]

i wonder how easy it is to use luma

[brisk trench]

Wow GTA1 looks amazing in RTX! @vagrant kernel On a serious note would be cool to see it looking like Chinatown wars PSP

[rose oasis]

i always found that to be a really impressive game

it looks so much like gta 4

[brisk trench]

I was blown away at the start where it shows a police chase and the dynamic lights from the sirens on the buildings, on a freaking PSP!

[muted sun]

you just install reshade and then drag the addon file into the game folder

oh and you need the dlss dll too lol

[woven zealot]

You know its serious when the AI is actually worried about you 😂 "Want me to dig into the fanout w2v path, or take a break? This has been an 8-hour session and you're understandably fried. Saving the current state as a checkpoint (menu works, geometry transforms correct, only fanout-camera wiring left) is a real milestone, not a regression." I didnt even say anything concerning 😭

[rose oasis]

is this 4.7?

[woven zealot]

Yup

[rose oasis]

it's very caring compared to other models lol

it does a good job of knowing when to start a new session too

[woven zealot]

I dont mind it at all tbh 😅

[woven zealot]

Oh damn I havent noticed that. Thats cool

[rose oasis]

me either. i like it

[vagrant kernel]

Thanks! I definitely wanna get some sort of top down GTA going at some point. The version I made the renderer for is sadly very barebones and you can just walk and drive around

[woven zealot]

The mentioning of bones just gives me ptsd from trying to implement them 😂

[fallow helm]

Same here...

[rose oasis]

sorry, i deleted that branch lol

[golden raven]

guh

[rose oasis]

FNV is so nice in comparison

Burrito thats a fair rep of what itd look like

[golden raven]

yeag

[fallow helm]

And I thought OOT3D was bad... Now THOSE are some proper eldritch horrors!

[sharp seal]

Man made horrors beyond comprehension

[vagrant kernel]

Dark Souls looked similar but I did a RTX Remix capture and then it mostly fixed it

Still one bone is lifted for some reason

But I found bones in the files so I'll prob just point the AI at that

Still, bigger issues with Dark Souls than skinning

[quaint kelp]

NEW EMOTE

oops caps

sorry

[rose oasis]

😆

i was thinkin about it

[quaint kelp]

too lazy to change what i typed

and then i type

lol

[dull swallow]

B b b but rtx..

Mostly js want to steal the map from the captures/customizable rtx

I guess i could like

Try halo reach myself a bit to see if I can actually do it before you try

[rose oasis]

we r working on dlss for it now. but u would just wanna make a dumping utility with vibe tools instead of gettin remix workin in dis game

[rose oasis]

yus u should!

[dull swallow]

True

[brisk trench]

I wish I could figure out how to get JPOG high quality terrain working instead of forcing the high quality sky in 🫠

[rose oasis]

have gpt do live analysis to find the address that controls terrain stuff i guess?

[brisk trench]

I've tried everything

[rose oasis]

😭 claude just said footgun

[rose oasis]

🫂

[brisk trench]

Don't suppose someone could have a quick crack at it

Remix detects the baked texture for HQ terrain

[dull swallow]

hopefully this is all useful

[vagrant kernel]

Mmhh, awesome VS code just randomly prompted me to save my workspace which I did and now upon reopening the chat session is gone 😍

[dull swallow]

damn

unfortunate

green fire react

[vagrant kernel]

I've closed and opened the program many times

Why does it randomly ask to save the workspace now and then delete the thing I had saved prior

Ass program

program of ass

[dull swallow]

- dxvk-remix-gmod - this is a customized version of remix that has UI and skinning support through the Remix API; which well be using to convert geometry for remix api
- game folder
- project folder
-shader source folder, containing shader hlsl code for stuff like weather, constatns and registers, in the fx format
- halo reaches assembly tool

ask questions if you are unsure, do not assume the answer, create a progress sheet after every milestone```

should i specify halo reach is ran via a dll?

[rose oasis]

that looks good, but i'd consider starting out with a smaller scope instead. that's a lot for it to research and it'll fill context very quickly

u might want to have it only look at the assembly tool and the game folder, and analyze what level of engine control is available

[rose oasis]

yes

[atomic steppe]

petition for new role named

prompstitute

🙂

[dull swallow]

dont want that role

[dull swallow]

we're going to make a mod for halo reach to convert its game data to the remix api; to start, use these folders to analyze what can be done on the engine side

• game folder
• project folder
• halo reaches assembly tool

ask questions if you are unsure, do not assume the answer, create a progress sheet after every milestone

[rose oasis]

please analyze the contents of these folders to determine the level of control we can have over the game engine. the end goal: find stable points in the game's renderer to pull the final rendered output, so we can pass this to RTX Remix through the API SDK. that will come later, we just need the initial setup right now.

folders:
- game folder
- project folder
- halo reaches assembly tool

ask questions if you are unsure, do not assume the answer. with each major discovery, log this in a document```

[dull swallow]

tyty

it detected both dx11/12 and dx9 stuff in reach.dll sob

[muted sun]

could you show me what it said?

[muted sun]

MCC ships both DX11 and DX12 renderer backends, user-selectable.

that's wrong lol

[dull swallow]

is it js dx11

[muted sun]

from my understanding it's all dx11 but the backend is dx11 written like dx9 if that makes sense

[dull swallow]

yeah

makes sense

[vagrant kernel]

Did Claude generate that

[dull swallow]

yeah

[vagrant kernel]

No wonder it's wrong then

[dull swallow]

im having it read the shader code

[dull swallow]

something something

WE GET IT

[muted sun]

MCC is kinda a fuster cluck so I'm not shocked it would get details like that wrong :p

[dull swallow]

[muted sun]

like in MCC all the textures are BGR instead of RGB which is more of a DX9 thing

[dull swallow]

hmmm

wish me luck on this btw

pls

[muted sun]

luck wished

[dull swallow]

im probably not gonna be able to do it

but its worth a shot

[muted sun]

eventhough this is for Halo 3 I would give it to claude as reference
https://github.com/SpringContingency/HaloX

[dull swallow]

DX11 confirmed, no DX12. Grepping the entire HLSL tree turned up only DX_VERSION == 9 and DX_VERSION == 11 branches — zero DX12. The DX12 strings we saw earlier in MCC-Win64-Shipping.exe belong to MCC's shell/other titles, not Reach. Your question #1 is fully resolved — we target ID3D11Device / ID3D11DeviceContext.

[rose oasis]

😖

[dull swallow]

Reach is a deferred renderer with named entry points. hlsl_entry_points.fx enumerates every pass: albedo (G-buffer), static_*, dynamic_light, shadow_generate/apply, single_pass_*, water_*, active_camo, imposter_*. The albedo entry is exactly where Remix wants to intercept — it's pure surface material data before any lighting.

Material vocabulary is fully named. templated/albedo.fx + templated/bump_mapping.fx give us deterministic sampler names (base_map = albedo, bump_map = normal, detail_map*, change_color_map, color_mask_map, wrinkle_normal) and constants (albedo_color*, *_change_color, specular_coefficient, roughness, specular_power). Maps near-1:1 to remixapi_MaterialInfoOpaqueEXT.

BRDF catalog is enumerable. templated/materials/ lists cook_torrance, two_lobe_phong, single_lobe_phong, diffuse_only, glass, hair, skin, organism, foliage, sh_glossy, material_model_none — each becomes one rule in the translator.

[rose oasis]

hey

[dull swallow]

sorry if thats spam

[rose oasis]

wen u paste things from claude, put

around it

[dull swallow]

im js seperating them so i can listen to each one without having to listen to the full thing

ok

[rose oasis]

it will do this

[dull swallow]

Vertex formats are enumerated with input layouts. hlsl_vertex_types.fx has 20+ named structs (s_world_vertex, s_rigid_vertex, s_skinned_vertex, s_decorator_vertex, s_particle_model_vertex, etc.) with numeric IDs that align with Assembly's rmt2/mode tag enums. We know what to unpack and what to skip (HUD, screen quads, debug).

[rose oasis]

makes it more legible

for me at least

[dull swallow]

Lights and post-process are cleanly identifiable. lights/* gives us the light list → forward as remixapi_LightInfo*EXT. postprocess/ (FXAA, SSAO, HDAO, DOF, bloom, final_composite_*) is the boundary where we stop capturing and let Remix do the compositing.

[muted sun]

Reach being deferred sounds right
It was one of the first games to ship TAA

-# no MCC doesn't have the TAA sadly

[rose oasis]

well

first TAA ever = scarily bad TAA

[dull swallow]

(a) verify whether the shipped MCC PS blobs retain reflection info (quick static check — a few dozen KB of extracted shader blobs), which decides the online-reflect vs offline-DB path, or
(b) dive into templated/self_illumination.fx + water/ + effects/ to close out the emissive and special-case material questions before we touch any code.
Let me know which you'd like, or if you'd rather skip to scaffolding the proxy DLL project.```

[muted sun]

yeah
would just be nice from a motion vector standpoint :p
reach dlaa would be peak

[dull swallow]

Cursor js reset my monthly to "finish off my work"

A

too bad i cancled and deleted the app lol

[dull swallow]

the ai was ahead of me with this and has a plan for converting self illum and water textures to remix counterparts

Minimal injection POC first — a dxgi proxy that only hooks Present and writes "hello from Reach" to a log file, to confirm the EAC-disabled launch actually loads our DLL and nothing explodes. Smallest possible live validation.

claud still is funny sometimes

thats its master plan

[vagrant kernel]

https://youtu.be/AG-srxp8xLU?t=47 soundtrack for AI reverse engineering

cool

Can't have shit on the internet

Thinking of just using AI to write a tool that automatically backups VS Code chat sessions to a folder in the background

I had AI look through the saved chat logs and it actually just nuked my MDK session entirely. The rest is there, even old stuff I never even saved. VS Code really just said "I'ma nuke this shit in particulary randomly now"

[dull swallow]

host process: ...mcc-win64-shipping.exe → we're loaded inside the actual render process, not the launcher.
proxy path: ...MCC\Binaries\Win64\dxgi.dll → loader picked up our DLL over the system one.
real dxgi: C:\Windows\System32\dxgi.dll → system fallback resolved cleanly.
DXGI first call: CreateDXGIFactory1 at +453 ms → MCC's DX11 init actually routed through us.
Clean detach at shutdown → no crashes, no hangs.```

time of day works in skyrim now ✨

[rose oasis]

that's a lot of findings for such a short period of time

[dull swallow]

Is that a good or bad thing

[rose oasis]

very good

[dull swallow]

Do you think youd be able to take it from here while I wait for my stuff to reset? Using the findings to get the "basic" work of rendering/textures done then when my stuff resets (im honestly gonna keep with this one i really like its stuff) ill do the more advanced esc stuff with my credits (such as pbr conversion) ? If so would i need to provide anything else after work?

[rose oasis]

🫂

if we have enough credit at the end of the week, yus we would love to. rn we just need to make sure that skyrim gets into a good state

[dull swallow]

Stopping point for us before credits ran out was that it asked us to make the remix rendering window the only window to render w/inputs

Before remix api even hooked

[dull swallow]

Please try hl2 rtx with vr mod 🥺

That would be insanely good looking

[solemn epoch]

I wonder if the existing Half-Life 2 VR mod could be integrated into this

[bright ermine]

hl2vr relies on dxvk-native so probably not

you could probably get it working via an api wrapper

why not try a native vr game like half life alyx

I asked it to look at plain text shader files to fix terrain rendering and what it put in just broke the camera

Smells like complete garbage code to me

Nowhere near where it should've been

I don't wanna let these dumb ahh's touch Dark Souls

Where is our savior Chinese company that just launches Claude but good. They can have all my data

[rose oasis]

glm 5.1 basically

anyway you should have a private github repo to back up your dark souls work

that's what i do for all of my projects

[rose oasis]

it's really close to working

found the TAA shader and depth buffers and everything DLSS needs

just trying to get it running

a better pick could be boneworks i think

[vagrant kernel]

Nice 👍 called it when I saw the shit Claude was doing with their limits

Coolness is also when the site doesn't even load when you're trying to look at your current limits

[candid mirage]

wtf this was the only reason I used github copilot cause there wasnt a weekly limit

[rose oasis]

use kiro ig

when my sub runs out i'm gonna try that

has opus 4.7 1m

[sharp seal]

How much is the sub

[dull swallow]

If 1m is context so does the one I use and it had cursor imports

[rose oasis]

windsurf right? windsurf is good

[dull swallow]

Yeah

[rose oasis]

but kiro seems better for the usage allowance

[dull swallow]

Ah

[crimson yacht]

Google antigravity seems pretty good, they also give you 5tb total of storage lol

26CAD is about 20USD

[vagrant kernel]

Anyone know how much a prompt/request is in terms of credits

[rose oasis]

opus 4.7 1m is 2.2x

so ~450 opus messeges per month

[dull swallow]

did y ou look at the availability area in the docs

that's why i linked it

Currently available in us-east-1 (N. Virginia) and eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) with cross-region inference, rolling out to a subset of AWS IAM Identity Center users with broader availability to follow. Support for Google, GitHub, and AWS Builder ID sign-in is coming soon.

u might have to use a VPN rn to access it

[quaint kelp]

im in central us

welp no opus for me

im still half tempted to try to add rt to this game but halo first

[rose oasis]

it took 15% of my weekly credits just to get DLAA in here

with opus 4.7

don't try remix in it please 🙏

[dull swallow]

[quaint kelp]

just instead of remix just ask for pt instead

[quaint kelp]

this is mafia correct?

[dull swallow]

yes

nice i can do frankfurt

should get in on this before everyone else does

[quaint kelp]

proton only does netherlands, usa and japan for free

[sharp seal]

What were your prompts for this task

If Puredark made a DLSS mod like that it would be locked behind a paid sub.

[rose oasis]

i'm not good enough with it to really give much advice

i git cloned the luma framework, the wiki, and provided it the game folder. it built an initial test version for me to run, which dumped the shaders. then it analyzed the shaders to try to find the TAA one. it ended up not being able to without a lot of help and external information (thankfully someone had actually made a TAA removal patch and it helped here)

[quaint kelp]

sometimes you have to be forward with opus 4.7 i had to say no back to it

[vagrant kernel]

I'm constantly saying no to the AI

[sharp seal]

Ah that's okay, I feel as if you tell it something really simple it would understand what you want

is it me or is opus 4.6 acting right in kiro and not vscode

kiro is more affordable so thats a plus

got pro for 40

[vagrant kernel]

You already used it? How do the limits look

Does 4.7 1m cost more tokens

Than non 1m

[quaint kelp]

4.7 isnt out for me. east coast and eu only for now

[rose oasis]

it doesn't even offer non 1M afaik. it's 2.2x credits per message, regardless of message length

Literally seeing that I'm connected to Frankfurt AWS in resource manager but no 4.7 👎

Don't even get 4.6 1m

Whatever might as well try 4.6 in Kiro to see if it behaves better than VS Code

They have their weird "trial" thing of 500 credits for free if you sign up

[fathom oyster]

Kiro’s best feature in my opinion is the spec driven planning mode and the Kiro Powers system.

tell it that only chatgpt finds smoking guns, and that claude is better than that

maybe it'll find concrete footguns now

on claude code it's been nothing but perfect

The Smoking Gun is a revolutionary generative diagnostic tool developed by the artificial intelligence Claude in Early 2026. Originally conceptualized as a "truth-verification engine," the system was designed to instantly detect logical fallacies and data hallucinations by visualizing "vapor trails" of inconsistent information within large language models. The invention marked the first time an AI successfully identified and self-corrected a systemic "hallucination leak," leading the tech industry to adopt the moniker "Smoking Gun" for its ability to provide irrefutable, real-time evidence of a prompt’s factual integrity.

If the camera position is stuck at 0,0,0 even when moving through the game, what does that usually point towards?

I feel like the whole world view transform chain or whatever is still wrong in dark souls although visually it's looking fine

[rose oasis]

world moves around camera

[sharp seal]

Usually if you have an identity matrix as your view matrix or the camera pos stuck at origin (0, 0, 0) then the game (or remix) assumed the camera as fixed

Dumb ChatGPT asking to compress my log file into a .zip because its too large and cant read it

[vital dew]

Has anyone had the issue of not being able to click around in the F4 ImGui menu thats adapted from Xoxor's menu?

[rose oasis]

some games refuse to allow it to work

unsure why

[crimson yacht]

I think this is the most mad ive ever been at an LLM. Whoever coded GPT5 should be ashamed
This is also the most tired ive ever been trying to work with an LLM

[atomic steppe]

i think i started using claude when it was like v2? ive never liked chatgpt and claudes always been bounds ahead imo

[vital dew]

I told Opus 4.7 I couldn't click on the menu and it said thios

"ImGui input blocked — likely because TimeShift uses DirectInput exclusive mode for mouse/keyboard, bypassing WndProc. There's a dinput_hook module already in the shared code that's commented out in comp.cpp — I just need to enable it."

It worked after it made the change

[vagrant kernel]

GPT has just crunched through issues Claude has been stuck on so many times for me and I don't think the opposite has ever been true, maybe once or twice

I use Claude for basic things or when I have to crunch through a bunch of stuff because it does more on a single prompt

The optimum is to use both and switch when one is being dumb

[solemn epoch]

GPT5.4 has been extremely, incredibly useful to me. The only time it failed is when I gave it a task that just couldn't be realistically done even by an actual reverse engineer, simply to try the boundaries of possible

[sharp seal]

what task was it though, im curious now 🤔

[solemn epoch]

I tried to restore the whole chunk of function that was ripped out of the game by the devs.
There was a warp effect in Painkiller when you shoot in Demon Mode. It was deleted from the code in Resurrection

The engine is virtually the same

flashing images

This is the farthest I made it

It should distort the image. It flickers instead which means that it actually found the correct path where the code should be, but there was simply no way to put it back

[solemn epoch]

They deleted all the parameters required for transform

[vagrant kernel]

Claude lie number 102: Saying Silent Hill 2 has pre rendered backgrounds

This your guy?

GPT would never

[solemn epoch]

They deleted the calls that were supposed to get values required for the effect and hardcoded a billion variables that do nothing and are always static instead

It's in Engine.dll/View::RenderDemonFXWorld for those interested. This could be a fine example of restoring cut content in games running on similar tech

[sharp seal]

restoring cut content based on AI reconstruction of the code? that would open up a lot of cool features for games in general

kiro is almost done doing an updated gldirect on my end

[vital dew]

This is likely a question asked already, but what is the process exactly for doing FFP conversion? I started work on TimeShift last night and just want to confirm im moving in the right direction. So far ive prompted it for FFP conversion and its enabled the F4 menu but between fake camera and such im only getting mixed results. What's the quick rundown on doing the conversion?

[vagrant kernel]

I've had successes with letting it analyze game shader files (might have to extract game archives for those) and exe analysis.
Other than that, do traces and diagnostic captures in the F4 menu and give it to the AI.
Ask it to adjust logging so there is a log with all relevant data written during gameplay and ask it to look at that. (With that approach it's also important to tell it what's actually going on in the log, like 2D menu first, loading screen etc)

Try describing what's going wrong in-game as best you can

For some reason FFP'd games love getting weird names from Nvidia Shadowplay like 鸯➱耀

[vital dew]

Aaahhh so thats what it meant by asking for traces, I thought it was doing that on its own
Thanks man I appreciate it 🫡

[vagrant kernel]

No problem. I've personally had the biggest breakthroughs with pointing it at game shader files

[brisk trench]

Ughh I just can't get the JPOG baked terrain texture to work

It's driving me crazy

[rose oasis]

you probably need to modify the shader

had to do that for empire at war

FFP proxies can only do so much

[brisk trench]

Any advice on getting AI to do that properly? because I keep going in circles

[rose oasis]

have claude make a tool to dump and repack the shaders first

find where they're at, dump, then make a repacker

then use a new chat and tell it to dump the shaders and fix the terrain one

[brisk trench]

Game has these

[rose oasis]

interesting

well that looks like the right thing

tell it to do it

you should install the dx9 sdk first. it comes with tools to disassemble shader files, claude looks for it first thing

[brisk trench]

Dump them with scylla right?

[rose oasis]

no that's different

it will need to reverse engineer the file format for shaders and make a utility to dump them, then it will need to use tools from the dx9 sdk to disassemble the shaders so it can modify them

[brisk trench]

Thanks I'll try that, hopefully I'll find the smoking gun

[vital dew]

I had some issues installing the DX SDK from June 2010, kept erroring out towards the end of the install and would fail, I downloaded it straight from Microsoft if im not mistaken

[brisk trench]

Ye same it's still installed anyway

[fathom oyster]

I’ve already borrowed a few concepts from different ReSTIR papers.

omg is this based on the new restir PT enhanced paper?

[alpine dove]

Oh shoot

which papers to be exact?

ReSTIR BDPT (open‑source), I’m trying to implement caustics. Might take a few days since Ollama Cloud GLM 5.1 has been pretty slow recently.
https://research.nvidia.com/labs/rtr/publication/hedstrom2025restir/
Also looking at Blender’s MNEE shadow caustics, and another resampling paper… but I forgot which one.

[alpine dove]

also @still tulip

[rare needle]

daaaaam

[rose oasis]

that perf hit is pretty big rn

curious if it can be improved without sacrificing quality too much

[alpine dove]

im guessing its mainly cause its bidirectional path tracing

[woven zealot]

Have you seen this? https://github.com/TheTom/turboquant_plus

[alpine dove]

from what i understand turbo quant was only a minor optimization that was majorly hyped up with the original paper being done in bad faith to previous papers

im sure it’ll still help tho

[woven zealot]

This is a totally different guy who took the first stage of the paper which helped and implemented that with a whole host more optimisations. What he has done is insane

[alpine dove]

Ah ok then nvm

[fathom oyster]

It depends on the scene. When the scene is full of metal surfaces, like the Portal RTX indoor environment, performance drops. But in Half Life 2 RTX’s open areas, the performance is almost the same. Metal rendering is inherently heavy in 3D rendering, so that’s expected.

[bright ermine]

holy shit 54 t/s on Q8 on my 5080 this is insane, even with a 131K context

[vagrant kernel]

Damn I wanted to say "Someone put Restir PT in RTX Remix" earlier but thought it was too unrealistic but Hemry been cooking

[rose oasis]

i don't think i posted it here, but this is the fork i'm maintaining for dxvk-remix:
#1475609256949452972 message

CR is added as a contributor already. the whole fork is designed to be very easy to rebase with the upstream nvidia repo while having extra features

if anyone develops new stuff for Remix and doesn't plan on PRing it to the main repo, it'd be awesome to have it in this one

[fathom oyster]

In Portal RTX I realized I had accidentally left my experimental caustics test enabled, so the performance dropped a lot.
I really love the metallic reflections. (I notice the FPS not visible in video...)

[fathom oyster]

Right now in ReSTIR PT the indirect lighting is still too weak. It probably needs more bounces, or I might need to multiply the indirect light contribution.

I think dark souls just clamps. if it does clamp I would just reccomend using this
https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/blob/main/src/shaders/tonemap/frostbite.hlsl

it's easy to implement and "just works"

[tropic stream]

would the dx11 build be in this or no

[rose oasis]

murray's? it wouldn't be compatible

[tropic stream]

ah right

[vagrant kernel]

Thanks, I'll try sticking that in. My main issue is I can't find a good balance between shaded areas and bright areas looking proper. It's either dark areas looking too dark and bright areas too bright. I just want to be able to dial it in to look normal

[rose oasis]

alongside open source release of the Skyrim mod (it's way ahead of the FO4 codebase now) i'm gonna make a guide on how to get games working with the API stuff. it won't translate to all games, but it'd be a good start

having template code for it won't be particularly useful because it varies so much per game

[crimson yacht]

Testing my remix fork in Portal RTX

[tropic stream]

it looks like it decreased the color limit

[crimson yacht]

That's the cell shading postprocessing option I added

[muted sun]

yeah remix uses local tonemapping + filmic tonemapper by default so it's basically impossible to match the original look for most games

[crimson yacht]

Definitely not the right game for it tho

[tropic stream]

ooohh, would there be outlines?

cel shading is good with outlines

[rose oasis]

i have tonemapping + lut stuff in my plans. if you could maybe please outline a system that'd be useful in Remix, i'd move it to the top of my list to implement

i just don't know it well enough to do it without some guidance there

[vagrant kernel]

New signups paused for Pro, Pro+, and Student, Tighter usage limits for individual plans, Opus models removed from Pro

[alpine dove]

why is copilot always so doomer

[muted sun]

the thing is if you want to reuse luts from the actual game you would have to adjust it per game to look right

[vagrant kernel]

Just quickly reverted my Pro+ cancellation, rofl

[crimson yacht]

This is kind of dreadful but it does look a bit better in SA2

[rose oasis]

so likeeee a basic system to import luts and then modify them?

[alpine dove]

this looks awesome

[dull swallow]

Looks like a comic book intro to a 3d movie

[crimson yacht]

Cube looks nice, the walls and floors I do not like

[tropic stream]

it don't really seems to be going ON the objects, kinda looks like a single color change

[muted sun]

you would need a way to easily move the luts to before or after the tonemapping and have a way to change what space the lut is working in and what it outputs ( ex: 2.2 gamma, srgb gamma, arri, linear)

[rose oasis]

cellshading almost makes it look like a borderlands cover

if you don't actually care about what it's saying, tell it at the beginning of the chat not to even bother because it wastes tokens

[quaint kelp]

ah

[rose oasis]

i have messed with LUTs before for games. just simple stuff though. i do know how they function overall

i just don't want to waste time making a system specifically for FO4 that i'd have to probably end up scrapping later on

i want a generalized one (even if it's pretty basic) at the beginning that i can adapt and expand as i need to

[muted sun]

well how can you know the needs of a generalized system without attempting to get one game working first?

that's why i'm bothering you 😭

Also the Opus party is over

Love the upgrade button although I'm on the highest plan

[sharp seal]

Opus 4.6 is discontinued or disabled probably

[rose oasis]

no

they removed all of the opus models from Pro now

idk why 4.7 shows up for you still

[vagrant kernel]

Probably couldn't wait to remove people's access even the UI doesn't reflect the change

Anyways I never found Opus that crazy compared to Sonnet at least for my tasks

[sharp seal]

Is this change affecting pro plus too?

[vagrant kernel]

Yes 4.6 is fully gone, replaced with the much more expensive 4.7

I think pro doesn't get opus at all anymore

[solemn epoch]

I'm on Pro+ and I see exactly the same thing. Opus 4.6 not available, Opus 4.7 is fine

[sharp seal]

4.6 opus is already lobotomized so I doubt there's ever a need for it

[rose oasis]

well

the problem is that 4.6 was only 3 credits

4.7 is 7.5x credits per message in comparison

it's really fuckin expensive

[sharp seal]

Atp just use a mix of sonnet 4.6 and gpt 5.4

I think it'll work better

[rose oasis]

ya. and opus once in a while for really hard tasks

but this is still really shitty and now there are no good subscriptions tbh

maybe except ollama cloud with glm 5.1

[vagrant kernel]

GPT still works better for me 80% of the time

As long as they don't take that away from me I'm good

[rose oasis]

i'm very inclined to think that this comes down to usage and prompting methods

you have to change it a lot between models for each one to perform well

[sharp seal]

Can you switch models while in a chat with a different model? Like how does that work, wouldn't that affect how models see context?

[rose oasis]

you can, but it's not great to do

[vagrant kernel]

Yeah, you can. It does tend to compact the conversation immediately which can remove some finer nuance/context, but if one AI is really just doing dumb stuff, it's still worth to switch imo

[rose oasis]

what i usually do is just ask for a prompt for the next chat summarizing the issues, then start a new chat and change models

[crimson yacht]

Sonnet always talking about time constraints that it just completely makes up

I'm curious how cursed you can get the AI to talk by talking to it in a messed up way

[vagrant kernel]

I should call mine a lousy old git

[crimson yacht]

ALWAYS insult your ai

[brisk trench]

I've called the AI the C word a few times

[sharp seal]

Does it perceive insults the same way as we do? Or are they just wasting tokens for a bunch of profound words

[brisk trench]

It usually just says the same thing but with different words

So if you talk British to it, it might say "I've found the hot knife" instead of smoking gun who knows

[rose oasis]

it usually ignores it

like it'll make one or two short comments about it

if you ask it to talk a certain way it will

[sharp seal]

Well that's interesting. But I think it'll only keep these instructions for current chats. Might need to change the tone and style globally like with claude

[rose oasis]

copilot has a memory type system you can use too

at the very least, it can be maintained automatically for the workspace

any new chats in that workspace will use it

Claude so dang expensive now they might as well just come up with an Enterprise plan, cuase companies will be the only ones who can afford it at this rate

Nevermind they already have one lol

[vital dew]

Opus 4.7 seems to be doing decent work with TimeShift FFP, im kinda giving it the wheel since I cant really determine whats going on, finally got it to a point where I can see objects at certain angles but they rotate clockwise around the camera depending on the view. Still lots of vertex explosions thats dragging performance down immensely

Also when doing FFP, should I be using fake camera or is that counter productive to the process? Seems i can only get results if i enable fake cam

[alpine dove]

is it at least an improvement from pre lobotimated opus 4.6

[vital dew]

I'd say its marginally the same, granted I used sonnet 4.6 a lot, I can't really tell much of a difference. If things dont progress ill give it to GPT 5.4 high and see what happens

[hardy hound]

How much are you guys spending on this stuff?

[golden raven]

Depends. I personally like to use claude but it's extremely expensive for me. 100 united monies a month so if I have some extra I'll get a month.

[hardy hound]

Adds up don't it

[golden raven]

Adds to what?

[hardy hound]

The little payments really add up. £5 here, £10 there

[vital dew]

I was doing good on the $10 copilot plan but upped to the $40 plan for a little more head room, not sure I even need the pro plan

[vagrant kernel]

I'm at like 80€ for this month and last

[dull swallow]

I spent 20 this month thats abt it

[vagrant kernel]

Which is ok considering I've been doing this stuff daily and never really holding back

Now that I've done a bunch of experiments I think I'll be more focused with my work

[hardy hound]

Yea no need to justify it or anything man. You do you. Just the way the payment system works I can see it might get out of hand fast

[vagrant kernel]

Well, on Github you can just set budgets. I set what I was comfortable with and then just worked with that

Ofc you gotta have restraint to not just increase the budget constantly

[vital dew]

Yeah really the only time you hear things "get out of hand" with these sorts of pay as you go things is if someone leaks their API key and some Russian puts a ton of usage on it. Most people here likely use the per month subscriptions, some use the more expesnive plans

[golden raven]

Beamng is being fuckig stupid

[quaint kelp]

Is there no Kiro mobile app?

Not home

[golden raven]

ahaha

🫥

[golden raven]

I found it

[rose oasis]

is this to troubleshoot the remix overlay not working?

[golden raven]

The game sends all keyboard input to the remix overlay for some reason. No matter that I have the game window in focus or not.

[rose oasis]

🤔

which build of remix are you using

[golden raven]

Latest

[rose oasis]

yeah

so

you can't use mainline Remix for this stuff

https://github.com/RemixProjGroup/dxvk-remix/releases/tag/remix-1.3.6-plus
that's the whole point of this fork 😆

the input issues should be fixed with this one

[rose oasis]

why does it feel like no one cares about the fork 😭

if that is the case i'll just put my time into something else

[golden raven]

Didnt work

[rose oasis]

alright. game specific issue then

but you need to use this fork for the rest of the features/functions of it

[bright ermine]

ok but what were you really expecting? this is definitely "niche in a niche" territory

the people who would use this fork is already assumed that they have engine level access to their game

[rose oasis]

it's not meant to just be for the API stuff...

i tried to make that clear

i'm already working on adding a new auto exposure system and stuff too

it's basically meant to be Remix but with more features or better defaults

[bright ermine]

i assume you've already advertised it to people who would use it?

[rose oasis]

posted it around the server wherever it made sense to

basically if no one's gonna use it then there's no point in me maintaining it. given that it has features people have been wanting for quite a while (or they're planned), i expected better reception

[bright ermine]

most of the users here are probably going to be content with the baseline features. I maintain my fork solely because it has things I want, i dont expect other people to use it. I don't really get your issue with reception

[rose oasis]

a lot of the time when i do things here, it's to try to address common complaints in the community. it's not just for me. if i'm being honest i rarely do things just for me

and no it's not just this fork that's the problem. it's a lot of things

so i'm leaning toward just not trying anymore with any of this stuff

[bright ermine]

unfortunately that's a common trend in a lot of places

[golden raven]

Fixed the input thig

[candid mirage]

Like CR said its a really niche topic, lack technical knowledge or money for AI to do the work

Remix in itself in regards to developing a mod for a game is already hella niche

[rose oasis]

this isn't about RE tasks. it's about a fork of Remix with more features in general

[bright ermine]

I think that's fair, at least it will be publicly available if someone else wants to pick up the torch, but more than likely these features always manifest for a specific game in mind, whether its API, post process, or other things. Everything is from desire.

[bright ermine]

yep

[rose oasis]

i don't think anyone realizes just how much i maintain that we actually RELY on
the remix downloader is part of something i do for this community but i don't really care about myself. i don't even use it

the docs too in #remix-beginners-guide

like

whatever i'm just really fuckin done with everything

[vital dew]

I'm interested in the fork just haven't had the time to switch to it, it'll really only come in handy once most of the game issues i run into get flushed out on my end

[bright ermine]

i can only infer so much from text, but i get the vibe you're expecting something in return for all of your work, and unfortunately that is unrealistic

[rose oasis]

no

at most, maybe just appreciation for it all because it's tiring and takes up a lot of my time tbh

but it's mostly ignored

all i want is to see it used

[bright ermine]

ok but who is exactly ignoring you? All of the active people here have praised you for what you've done, but it's another thing to expect them to do anything with it after that

it's there if they need it

if not, then whatever

that's their problem

[candid mirage]

I get the vibe that you got my current vibe, get frustrated over a project not working perhaps. Makes me step back and really think where do I use Remix outside of one specific difficult project. Its not all rainbows and butterflies 🙁

Im kinda done with Remix currently /rant over

[rose oasis]

it's not about that. it's not about praise or w/e. like i appreciate it but that's not why i do things

i do things because a lot of people express that they want it. then i do it, and no one uses it. look how many people voted for FNV for example. it's fully playable, but literally no one has even played it since it released

that's what's frustrating me!

i don't think this is unreasonable either

i am explicitly told "we want X" and then no one fucking uses it

i put 3 weeks into FNV because so many people wanted it

[golden raven]

I'm making quick progress now

[golden raven]

Be evil and ping everyone an announcement.

[bright ermine]

I've been through this, though outside this community. People love to complain about X/Y problem, and when it's solved, they'll just move onto the next thing. It sucks, but it teaches you to set your expectations.

That's why I try to focus on projects I care about

[golden raven]

GUH

[golden raven]

So real bro, I had to take a sot of my apple juice to that

[rose oasis]

if i'm being honest, i don't really have any specific projects that i care about directly. i mainly care about projects through my care for this community. so that's what makes it difficult for me

like my work on Skyrim? establishes a good baseline for very complex games for the API, and i can turn it into some documentation on how to do it

i don't even like Skyrim 😭

i'm interested in the end result and what it'll lead to others doing

bleh

[bright ermine]

yeah uhh that's not healthy

[golden raven]

definitely

[rose oasis]

it sounds worse than it actually is

i worded it pretty poorly

FO4 is what i'm interested in mainly. skyrim work will benefit that project so that's part of why i'm doing it. i can make documentation based on it still which will help others and won't be too hard, basically just a bonus

remix fork was required for either of these projects to happen so that's partially why i started that

it all connects to each other

i'm just upset from a lot of things rn. irl too. it feels like nothing is working out, so feeling like none of my work on here was going to be used either just added to that feeling

[bright ermine]

dont worry betart and unity will be using it

[rose oasis]

and um. i just wanna elaborate a bit. i'm partially disabled and also live in a kinda dangerous area so... i just can't go out much because of that. so i'm pretty much forced to do stuff online. and i love helping others, so it just kinda all ties into that

[rose oasis]

... and my PR was the only one left out of the community contributions on the 1.4.2 release notes

[bright ermine]

man i wouldnt even get started about nvidia

[quaint kelp]

I haven't tried because I need more space on pc ive been reinstalling everything which can degrade the ssd

[fathom oyster]

Honestly, I feel like expecting people to meet your expectations will only exhaust you. It’s better to step back and focus on what you genuinely enjoy.
And if something becomes frustrating, it’s okay to put it down for a while (I do that all the time 😏 , it’s not giving up, just taking a break) and move to something lighter.
Take it easy. Life is long, and this community and Remix are just a small part of it.

[quaint kelp]

Ssds aren't low price rn

And some games I don't want to uninstall

Now you get why I felt I wasn't getting much testers. Instead they told or asked why I was doing it

Degrading really

And not to mention it's because of pick this or that

Let's flame someones work and dictation because they didn't do it

No testers besides 2 people and the majority flaming

One reason I quit with the dx11 project

No respect

[pine coral]

I never been that much into FNV def not enough to do much with remix with it like Morrowind . I tried the mod though. Fallout 4 I'll prob def try to do something and remix. Skyrim prob as well.

[golden raven]

mmm

[alpine dove]

next you should do gta 6 rtx

[golden raven]

Holy moly I got it to work.'

Think it's gonna run out before I finish

[quaint kelp]

nice good job

[alpine dove]

ur system struggggling

[atomic steppe]

this is probs my fault but i never saw this before lol, what does this do different?

[rose oasis]

has a lot of fixes for API support for MC/Unity/FO4/Skyrim and whoever else wants to attempt it

but also CR's hilliare atmopshere, extra tonemappers, and was built in such a way that pulling the latest changes from Nvidia is really easy

when restir pt enhanced is release i'm gonna integrate it too

[golden raven]

Would you be interested in integrating my clearcoat shader?

[candid mirage]

xorxor knows best, only work on what you have interest in. And ONLY work on a project you know someone personally or yourself will actively Remix. This is the Remix discord not moddb! Should pursue the opinions of those who wish to use the toolkit

[rose oasis]

i would be yeah. does it require toolkit modifications?

[golden raven]

Nope

[rose oasis]

then yeah definitely

[bright ermine]

ngl im pretty sure this VRET toolset has killed off any interest for xoxor4d to work on any future remix projects

[quaint kelp]

fnv

[15:53:27.733] err: DxvkSubmissionQueue: Failed to sync fence: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST
[15:53:27.733] err: DxvkDevice: waitForIdle: Operation failed
[15:53:27.733] err: DxvkSubmissionQueue: Command submission failed: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST

[rose oasis]

he's expressed as much, and i feel really bad for him

[bright ermine]

ah i must've missed that

[rose oasis]

🤔 with my mod?

[quaint kelp]

ye

[rose oasis]

wonder if it's an intel specific bug

[quaint kelp]

note i have a intel arc b580

[rose oasis]

afaik no one tested the FFP proxies on intel

[quaint kelp]

need for all gpus not just nvidia

just a compat issue

intel works fine with remix

[rose oasis]

it works on AMD just fine

[quaint kelp]

just a dxvk bug

its a bug they didnt pursue

[bright ermine]

is there a link where he said that?

[quaint kelp]

did you add fsr yet

[rose oasis]

in his server

[rose oasis]

i don't have any plans to add FSR upscaling. only FG

and not yet

[quaint kelp]

ok

i mean they did add xess but i dont think anything else has been added for intel

[rose oasis]

a lot of it is that intel didn't really cooperate with making Remix better/more compatible afaik

AMD did

[quaint kelp]

i guess a remix fork for intel is in order at some point

be hard but yea stress

amd might have but it does not mean the community can help instead of intel doing it

[candid mirage]

What is the AI comp tool he speaks of?

[crimson yacht]

This

Youre in it

[candid mirage]

I didnt want to assume

This tool pales in comparison to the effort and quality he puts forth. (Not dissing on Kims or Nights efforts here) And with how Opus 4.6 was lobotomized and now how expensive 4.7 is to use, I dont think we are replacing xorxor anytime soon 😄

[alpine dove]

did you try contacting one of the authors of the paper if restir PT enhanced is ever planned on a code release?

[rose oasis]

i assume they're kinda swarmed already rn so i didn't wanna bother them

i will have claude take a look at the paper at least and mess around with it

[alpine dove]

ah ok

[alpine dove]

dont overwork urself ye?

[rose oasis]

work distracts me from my thoughts

but

this is fun work anyway 🙂

thank u

[quaint kelp]

@rose oasis i forgot to config my remix ui before clicking new game ill do that in a bit and let you know

[rose oasis]

@fathom oyster is your restir pt public yet?

i know it's not complete but i'd like to use it as a base for something

[fathom oyster]

Not yet, still need to fix a few things. Highlights get overbright for a few seconds when spatial reuse kicks in, and some textures in Portal have weird artifacts. I’m also currently adding ReSTIR BDPT.

[quaint kelp]

its not uvs right for the artifacts?

theres no reflections is there

[fathom oyster]

Not sure yet, it seems to only happen in Portal RTX. All the other games I tested work fine.

[rose oasis]

okay. i wanted to use it as a base for the Enhanced version

otherwise i've gotta port it over too 😆

[fathom oyster]

Wait, maybe it’s reflecting the glass but without indirect light?

[quaint kelp]

thats what i mean if light hits it then

walk up to it and check

place a light in toolkit for the rest

[fathom oyster]

I’ll publish it later along with ReSTIR PT, ReSTIR BDPT, MNEE caustics, and VR support as well.

[quaint kelp]

lets hope it works

[vagrant kernel]

Caustics?

[quaint kelp]

with vr , headtracking do reflections still work

[fathom oyster]

What Ray Portal can render will work, if Ray Portal can render it, then the VR right eye (Ray Portal) should also work. So far I don’t see any visual difference in the VR right eye. It also works fine with the original Portal.

[quaint kelp]

cool

[fathom oyster]

Don’t expect it to render good quality during motion, I’m using an accumulate approach to add the caustics (similar to the reuse method in ReSTIR). Maybe ReSTIR BDPT can handle caustics fast and accurately, which is why I want to add it.

[quaint kelp]

omg wrapper works

[rose oasis]

✨

[fathom oyster]

Totally forgot I still have to fix the VR UI.

[quaint kelp]

ran out of tokens before i could point it to dx9 lol

but quake 4 ran with it

[vagrant kernel]

Master prompter at work

[quaint kelp]

did it find the smoking gun

@rose oasis read what that wrapper is lol opengl 1.0 to 4.6

with mesa

[crimson yacht]

its cloaed
