NVIDIA has announced that on June 6th they will release Quake II RTX as a free download! Quake II RTX will feature improved Global Illumination rendering, with three selectable quality presets, including two-bounce GI, multiplayer support, time of day options that radically change the appearance of some levels, as well as new weapon models & textures and new dynamic environments (Stroggos surface, and space). The game will also sport better physically based atmospheric scattering, including settings for Stroggos sky, real-time reflectivity of the player and weapon model on water and glass surfaces, and player model shadows, for owners of the complete game (the original Shareware release does not include player models), improved ray tracing denoising technology and caustics approximation to improve water lighting effects.
