What is Soft Voxels Lite?
This is the free edition of my Soft Voxels Shaderpack, which intends to be a minimalistic and rather performant shaderpack that relies on voxels and path-tracing to give you some fast yet good looking lighting. This obviously also includes proper colored lighting from various emitters. As there is no actual shadowmap the direct light from sun and moon is rather soft, giving the pack its signature overcast outdoor-looks.
What features does it offer?
- path-traced lighting
- temporal upscaling (TAAU), at 50% by default
- dynamic fog
- screenspace godrays
- screenspace reflections
- waving foliage
- resourcepack specular support (according to labPBR specification)
Any Requirements?
- Optifine for 1.16 or newer/Iris 1.5.0 or newer
- GTX 1050/RX 560 or similar/better (has to support OpenGL 4.3)
- GTX1660/RX 5600XT or better recommended for 1080p at default settings
- Windows/Linux
- Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!
