Half Life 2 RTX PBR Pack Released - ModDB PBR Mod

[@RandomAlex3325]

The maps already look like they came out yesterday, now all that’s needed are remastered models

Great mod, thanks for showing us this.

For those unaware, the reason you may not notice a massive difference here is Source engine already uses a prebaked version of path tracing, where the shading is baked into the textures and materials when compiling a map instead of simulated in real time. This is why Source always looked so good. Doing it in real time just allows for this to be calculated dynamically and with a greater degree of detail, which is amazing.

Thats a lot of textures! how did you mass upscale/replace them so quickly?

[@skurtyyskirts]

There was a game capture for Half Life 2 on ModDB of the entire game. I was able to download that, and throw all the textures into PBRify. I then used a script to auto replace/assign all of the upscaled textures as well as their normal/roughness maps! :) It took some time to get it all done, but I let the computer do all the heavy lifting haha

@@skurtyyskirts Can we play this basically?

[@веня_ванильный]

Excuse me, can you write a step-by-step guide somewhere on how to install this? I have been unable to figure out for a week how to launch the game without crashing.

I wanna try it in vr mode

[@literally_bob]

Could you make a tutorial?

[@BekirSai]

I downloaded it and tried to play the game. Installed HL2 and Portal RTX then copied HL2 folder to Portal RTX folder and skipped the already existing files. Then I put the config file and all the other files thet you share to the main "PortalRTX" file. I mean the "materials" folder and "SubUSDs", I put these in main "PortalRTX" folder and overwrited the config file. I started the game, performance was so poor, since I am aware that RTX mods for Source engine runs slowly, I wasn't surprised, but also the shadows were flickering and always disappearing randomly. Lightnings were so weird, I tried to open some Lighning settings from ALT+X but it also didn't quite work, it was only a bit better. So I'm asking did I install wrongly or the mod is not for playing but for taking videos and screenshots? I mean the flickering? Is it normal?
