RTX Remix

RTX Remix is a tool by Nvidia that allows users to add  Path tracing and newer graphical effects to older/outdated, compatible game engines. Along with the path tracing RTX Remix allows for the replacement of textures and models using  Universal Scene Description and Scene Capture. It adds new features like PBR, RTX lighting and RTX reflections. However, it currently requires a Nvidia graphics card to make the mod, and support for Radeon graphics cards has neither been confirmed or denied, however you can still play RTX Remix mods, but not make them. It is unlikely for these cards to be supported.

Warning:It is not known how VAC may react to RTX Remix, to be safe remember to always put -Insecure in your launch parameters, this means sadly you can't play on VAC secured servers while using RTX remix in games like Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source, however any non-vac secured servers are likely to work fine.

Note: Source Engine is one of the best engines for use with RTX Remix due to its accessibility and documentation. ^[Clarify] However its recommended you download source tools like VPKEdit and Crowbar and a texture editor like GIMP as VALVe engines using proprietary formats. For more tools that may help with your project see Category:Third Party Tools.
