Modder ‘xoxor4d’, the man behind the amazing GTA 4 RTX Remix Mod, has released a Path Tracing Mod for Need for Speed: Carbon. This mod will overhaul this old NFS game. So, make sure to grab it if you are a die-hard NFS fan.
Need for Speed: Carbon launched in 2006 as the tenth installment in the Need for Speed series. Set after the events of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, the game follows the player as they dive back into illegal street racing across the fictional Palmont City. The story centers on reclaiming control of the city from rival street-racing gangs, all while navigating intense races and territorial battles.
Going into more details, this RTX Remix Mod brings a custom car paint shader. There is a dynamic wetness code with puddles, raindrops, occlusion checking, and per drawcall tweaks. The mod comes with logic to aid with drawcall modifications, as well as Anti Culling code and per-mesh adjustable preculling (occlusion).
To showcase the new Path Tracing lighting, the modder shared the following video. This will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to check it out.
You can download the RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod for Need for Speed: Carbon from this link. For the best results, the modder recommends using it alongside this mod. NFSC Remix adds to the game PBR materials and new light sources.
If you are into RTX Remix Mods, you can find similar ones for a lot of other titles. For instance, you can find such mods for Black Mesa, Star Wars Republic Commando, NFS: Underground, and Manhunt. You can also find more for BioShock, Morrowind, NFS: Underground 2, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
In January 2024, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider 2, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Then, in February 2024, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4, and Midnight Club 2. Be sure to also check out some early RTX Remix videos and screenshots for Fallout: New Vegas, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, and COD 2.
And that’s not all. Modders have released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for Painkiller and Left 4 Dead 2. Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Gold have also gotten the path-traced treatment. Half-Life fans can also play the game with Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing. Lastly, you can download these amazing Path Tracing Mods for Doom, Doom 2, Quake, and Serious Sam. These last ones are among the best Path Tracing Mods you can find.
