July.27.2021 - Euro Truck Simulator 2 - [original LuxuS release date]
_________

HELLO,

It's been a long time. I'm proud to share with you the next version of my ReShade Preset JD6 LuxuS. Tested and adjusted for hours on end this (as always) is the definitive way to enjoy ETS2. This version is designed to bring the game closer to the modern look of AAA racing/driving videogames, taking inspiration from titles such as Forza Horizon 4 and GT Sport as well as tons of Real Life footage and pictures.

New in this version is the added support for RTGI shader (RAY TRACING) by Pascal Gilcher aka Marty McFly. 

ATTENTION!!
The RTGI shader itself is NOT INCLUDED in this release, ONLY the PRESET! PLEASE SUPPORT Marty McFly here:

IMPORTANT! The preset uses version ReShade_GI_Beta_0.21.

UPDATE v1.5

- Introducing experimental preset with RadiantGI. Must be paired with an AO solution through ReShade (ex. quint_MXAO.fx) or the one provided by SCS for maximum quality if you have a high end PC. RadiantGI is a Global Illumination solution or an alternative to the paid RTGI shader. It's created by BlueSkyDefender:

https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender

YOU MUST DOWNLOAD Overwatch.fxh from here: (click on Code -> Download ZIP)
https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/AstrayFX

Copy that file to "reshade-shaders" folder.

UPDATE v1.7

- Multiple changes to the RTGI shader

UPDATE v1.8

-updated settings for RTGI 0.32.2
-update for ReShade 5.2.2

Enjoy the very best and unmatched JD6 LuxuS preset! A ReShade for KINGS.
Use the ORIGINAL and not the silly preset knock-offs that piggyback JD6 visuals.
