In this tutorial we talk about Nvidia's RTXGI plugin. This is a relatively new lighting method that completely leapfrogs the default Raytraced Global Illumination options in UE4 / Unreal Engine 4. While Unreal Engine 5 has Lumen, RTXGI is a worthy competitor. In this video we cover how to set up the plugin, how to use RTXGI, how it works, as well as a few other quality of life settings that are really good to know about.
You DON'T need an RTX gpu for this to work. But it should go without saying that you need to enable raytracing in your project settings for this to work.
Console Commands for RTXGI:

Hi William, so glad that I've run into your channel. Really appreciate that your tutorial are so in depth, from start to finish, especially where to locate the plugins and tips and caution that we need to consider. There's a tutorial that I've been searching for a while but could not find, I just wonder if you would be interested to do. That is making a stereoscopic movie using render queue. I could not find any tutorial for it. I'm not sure if VR and stereoscopic are any difference, and if no, how to output it as images for a movie or short film. Will appreciate it very much if you could do a tutorial on how to create stereoscopic in Unreal 4.27, to output it as images for production. Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work! And thanks for your contribution.

You're channel is now my go to for a recap btw projects. Such awesome work on yr artstation too. Thank you so much!!! A suggestion for a future topic. Lighting from a photographer's point of view(an exploration using physically accurate values of candela, lux). And when only to use post process or camera to bump up the exposure, min and max EV and indirect GI. Tonemapping to avoid highlight burns, and adding enough lights, if a single direct light source isn't enough.

Have to say your channel is one of the best of the best, you do better at teaching than the official live streams more often than not. One thing I'd love to see you tackle is getting the best lighting for large open world VR, including day/night.. Lumen and Nanite(maybe later) don't support VR, so sadly can't put those to use yet. Thinking in terms of PC Desktop VR only, and not being limited by Android/Mobile. I figure hardware will reach the point where we might be able to do PCVR with deferred rendering as well in the future.

Hi! I wish to add some feedbacks from my own experimentations with RTXGI! -First of all, the RTXGI is not working with mesh with light channel other than light channel 0, whenever a mesh with light channel 1 or 2 activated enters the viewport, the RTXGI disappears! -When creating it, i'll advice to don't go over 15000 probes (or 25x25x25) or it might crash! Besides that, once set, it's pretty steady! -When you got meshes with translucency crossing other meshes (ex: Godrays, others FX with translucency, etc...), it can create some issues with the GI -Even if RTXGI update dynamically, it doesn't seems to support LightFunctions -The RTXGI can be hard to setup in exiguous places (leaks & shadow problems) If you got some solutions for any of these problems, i will be happy to hear it!^^ BYE
@WilliamFaucher
@WilliamFaucher 2 жыл бұрын
Feedback and thoughts are always welcome! I also noticed issues with lighting channels, those don't seem to work. Same thing with too many probes, it is easier to have one large volume with low probe count, and several other small volumes to get more accurate lighting in specific areas. It is definitely very finicky to set up in some areas, as it can look pretty buggy. But over all, it looks so great!

Fantastic walkthrough of RTXGI, one thing I think you also want to mention is that some probes got black and a red outline. That means they went to sleep and note contribute to the GI overall, according to NVIDIA, it doesn't affect the performance, but those dark probes occupy memory.

As always great video. Big thanks for taking the time to make this tutorials, they were very helpful for me. I have dilemma that I hope you will be kind enough to help me with. I’m currently working on a project (interior of a disco club), it is a closed space and it will be lit with planes/polygons with video animations playing on them, and simple objects (cubes, cones and spheres) with emissive materials. No skylight, backdrop HDRIs or directional light. I’m supposed to make video animation for presentation, so frame rate is not that important for me. Until I watched this video I was sure this disco club will be my first complete ground up UE5 ArchViz project. Now I’m having second toughs about that, since you mentioned potential UE5 instability. I do not own RTX card, but GTX 1070Ti. Knowing that would you suggest me going with UE5 + Lumen, or UE4 + Nvidia RTXGI Plugin? Tnx.

There's a way to inject sky atmosphere and clouds to RTXGI through a material. The HDRI dome you have there needs to have a material with Raytracing switch to masked, so, if raytraced =1, if normal = 0, so it's invisible in viewport, then in emissive you plug in SkyAtmosphereIrradiance. This way you put Sky Atmosphere colors to material's emissive channel. Plus, for large worlds, you calso can attach DDGI volume to your character and make the probes either stay in place or follow the volume. So the volume can follow the player generating new probes and removing old when player moves. Really handy. Good video.

Hi! It has to do with how each software handles linear footage. It’s a colorspace thing. You need to apply the correct colorspace conversion in Resolve, from linear sRGB to rec709 or ACES. I made a video about colorgrading in resolve, so you can see the process there.

Hi! Yeah you need to enable raytracing, anything with the term RTX in the name needs raytracing :)

Brilliantly clear as ever William - thank you. The problem I have with unreal 5 is that glass doesn't work. I'm an architect and I design in 3d. Does this solve that? The beautiful Realtime GI with translucent, reflective glass?

Glass does work in UE5, you just need to disable Lumen :) This does solve that issue in UE4 somewhat though yes!

@@mauriceshapero7200 Not that I know of. UE5 is still just an early access/beta, it isn't a full release so this may be resolved next year. Until then, you'll have to pick the lighting method that works best for you!

So it’s like voxel GI system, especially when you add smaller volume with smaller probs for better details.

Do you think you could do an updated version of the movie render queue and getting high quality renders in UE5?
@WilliamFaucher
@WilliamFaucher 2 жыл бұрын
I probably will once UE5 is fully released, but I won't bother now because it's just early-access, and nothing has fundamentally changed yet. Everything is pretty much exactly the same between UE4 and UE5 in terms of rendering. :)

It does seem to swim a bit, but if you are moving the camera and have enough texture details it should be ok. Still has the TAA smudging effect. I will have to play with it to see if it is useful for me. I have known about it for a long time, but because I hate to have to rely on a plugin with an uncertain future, and only encompasses one aspect of lighting (ie will it vanish once UE5 adoption become more ubiquitous?). I guess I can only hope the Path Tracer or Octane becomes much more viable in a short amount of time. Also not sure if it was because of the fact that this was a demo, but do you always set up cheat lights prior to turning on GI? I usually wait to see what I need to do after the GI baseline is already established. Not a criticism, just curious, I am very much a process guy, and order of operations matter to me :) .

Even in UE5, there will likely be several GI options to choose from. Lumen isn't perfect, RTXGI isn't perfect, Pathtracing isnt perfect, each has their own pros and cons, you'll have to choose which one works best for your specific needs. There's no such thing as "cheat" lights. The only thing that matters is the end result. Ask any lighter, oe gaffer on a film set, the entire process of being a lighter, is a hack to create a visually pleasing, believable result. Of course I understand what you're asking, but in this case it wasn't to create more GI, I added more lights to get the direct lighting I wanted on the rock surfaces.

@@WilliamFaucher yeah, in vfx we use it to describe non "practical" light sources. For example: you have things like The Sun, Lamps, The TV, these kinds of things are direct, "practical" sources. Once I typically have these defined, and I see where light naturally falls do I start either adding bounce cards, or additional lights to turn the form of a subject, as I try to keep things looking as natural as possible. At least when doing photorealism. If I do something more in line with NPR, I usually build up a recipe, it can be anything from a 3 point, or some other manner of stage lighting. Like I said, I'm a process guy, as much as I like to freeform for experimentation, when on a production, or building a pipeline, processes build in consistency. Current gig is something in between, because it has to look both real and staged, and is lit almost entirely with bounce cards, and projection cards when it has to match a film plate, or I need an interactive light for an FX element. Aside for some spec hits, there is no direct lighting at all. As for UE5, and GI, because Lumen also takes over for ray traced reflections, any other solution will also need that, or completely provide an entire lighting and shading solution. Something like Nvidia's real-time pathtracer comes to mind. Hopefully by this time next year there will be some comprehensive solutions that also include full renderbuffer/pass support. I have a gig coming up where that will be needed, and I generally prefer to work that way regardless. For me, render time is only the halfway point.
