All BD does is turn up the detection so the AO and ray tracing GI look proper on those maps. Often most downloaded mod maps like American off road, Los Injurus or Tenesse have weak depth buffer detection. The reason there is two presets is because one cranks up the depth buffer detection for mod maps. GD Stands for 'Good Depth' and BD stands for 'Bad Depth'. What the heck is with the 'GD' and 'BD' presets? Why are there two? Having them on would just have both the game and ReShade doing the same thing and eat up more performance. Why turn off Bloom and Ambient Occlusion?īoth are being done by the preset. Close the overlay, go into your video options and turn off Bloom and Ambient Occlusion.

Click performance mode at the bottom right.Select the EPIC 1.0 GD preset (click 3 dots next the preset at top).Set RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED to 1.Once that's open click 'edit global preprocessor definitions' at the bottom.Boot up BeamNG.drive and hit the home key, this should bring up the ReShade overlay.

If you are going to use the Ray Tracing Global Illumination follow Pascal Glitcher's installation steps on his patreon.

Once ReShade is installed, drag both my EPIC 1.0 GD and EPIC 1.0 BD presets into your BeamNG.drive Bin64 folder.

This is important because some of the effects used are considered legacy.

Install every effect, including the legacy effects.

If you want you can use the most recent version from (it should be fine, I've just included the 4.9.1 to make sure) I've included ReShade 4.9.1 in the folder incase any future ReShade releases cause issues. He has a very good install guide video you can find in his thread linked above. You don't have to, but the preset is designed to work with it.

First of all I highly recommend installing Brother_Dave's AL13.

It's very important you install that first otherwise it won't look the same. This preset is designed to be used with Brother_Dave's AL13. Blooming_HDR (Bloom and HDR tone mapping).RTGlobalIllumination (Ray Tracing Global Illumination).However, even without this effect the preset should still provide some nice improvements. I want to stress that this effect is only available through a subscription to his patreon. The preset uses Ray Tracing Global Illumination by Pascal Glitcher (Marty Mcfly). Today I am releasing my personal ReShade preset I use with BeamNG. Hey everyone! First of all this is my first post! This preset uses a beta version of Ray-tracing Global Illumination only available through Pascal Glitcher's patreon!
