GUIDE - PTGI "Rendering" Series
🕑 Added 2019-05-31 03:40:03 +0000 UTCHey!
This guide shows you what I used to create the videos for my "Minecraft Rendering" Series on YouTube (2018 - 2020). A playlist with some of the videos can be found here and a gallery with my favorite screenshots here. (zoom in)
You need to have the SEUS PTGI shader which is currently only accessible through Sonic Ether's Patreon page. (see below)
Important:
This is mostly "legacy-content". Also it is not supposed to be used for normal "survival gameplay". I created it mainly for my Videos/Screenshots to showcase the PTGI shader.
Sadly a lot of important features are missing in newer versions of Minecraft, Optifine and SEUS PTGI. It only makes sense to update the content if the same visual quality can be guaranteed.
What you need:
A good Computer (at least an RTX 2060 or equally powerful GPU)
MINECRAFT Java Edition Version 1.14.4
OPTIFINE 1.14.4 HD U F5: Download it here.
SEUS PTGI E11 Shader (not E12) Download it here. (at the bottom of the post)
If you want the exact same results as in my screenshots/videos - you need to use E11 + my settings.TEXTURES: R1-14, R15, R16 or R17
You can download 512x Versions for free here. (my Patreon Supporters get access to higher resolution versions)My Maps: With it you can replicate the scenes from my Videos/Screenshots.
Add your own builds to it. Download the maps here.
Install Optifine:
First start normal 1.14.4 Minecraft once, then close it again. Download Optifine (for 1.14.4) and open the downloaded file with Java (required) and click "install". If you now start the Minecraft Launcher again, Optifine has created a new profile automatically. Start Minecraft with this profile.
Install Shaders:
If you have successfully started Minecraft with Optifine, go to: Options > Video Settings > Shaders > "Shaders Folder".
A folder should open. Now copy the downloaded "SEUS PTGI E11,zip" file into this folder. Go back to Minecraft and Select SEUS PTGI in the list.
Install Textures:
In Minecraft go to: Options > Resource Packs > "Open Resource Pack Folder". A folder should open - place the downloaded Resource-Pack files into this folder. Go back to Minecraft, close and reopen the Resource-Pack Menu to see the new Packs.
SETTINGS (required!)
Go to: Options > Video Settings; Set Graphics to Fancy
Go to: Video Settings > Details, Set Trees to Fancy
Go to: Video Settings > Quality, Set Connected Textures to Fancy
Go to: Video Settings > Shaders, Set:
Normal Map: ON
Specular Map: ON
Shadow Quality: 1x
Go to: Video Settings > Quality, Set:
Mipmap Levels: 0 or OFF
Mipmap Type: Nearest
SHADER SETTINGS:
Go to: Options > Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options (SEUS PTGI must be selected!)
MY SETTINGS: 

TO GET MORE FPS:
only load the packs you currently need, less textures loaded = more FPS
build on an empty sky-map, less blocks = more fps
keep the builds small, clean and simple
play in Window-Mode and scale down the window
decrease Render Resolution (Shader Selection Menu)
decrease View/Render Distance

no, you need a Nvidia GeForce 210
is the rtx 3050 enough to handle it? its a little weaker than the 2060 but it beats the 1660 super and 1060
are you able to put them on bedrock?

is there a way i can backport just the armor and tools to 1.12? also is there a 1.12.2 version. never mind i found it

Sorry for the late reply. I had to remove a few of the older textures - also the bookshelf. I'll reupload the file - it will just be vanilla bookshelves.
Hey! I have a problem with my bookshelves, they are just black blocks with some white/grey pixels and was wondering how I would fix this? I don't believe that its the files themselves as I've tried x1040 and x512 and the problem still persists. Anyways the packs are looking amazing!
umsoea
do you have optifine installed and launched the correct profile?
i cant open shader option

How do I fix horizontal windows getting bugged out?

¿Entiendo que con tus texturas NO se puede jugar en modo "supervivencia" ? ¿Es así?
also how do you get the vents to work, i think its a file problem
yo how do I get the textures to resolve, when I go to the 15 16 and 17 maps they dont work with the recommended settings
how do i install all the packs from R1to R9
Hello, a question, It looks bad plants in minecraft, how can I fix it?
Make sure to install all the texture packs, R1 though to R9 to get all the textures. This pack only contains those few textures.
Hi! I was wondering why I only get the leaves, Cyan terracotta (or whatever. The fancy blue floor tiles) and glass, I'm on 1.12.2 with SUES PTGI E6. What could my problem be, if anyone knows?
umsoea
Problem with the shader, keep in mind it is still in heavy development
how do I use the map?

torches and lava don't seem to produce light. I'm unsure if this is because of the textures somehow or seus. Either way the textures look great.
umsoea
turn trees to fancy in your optifine settings.
Corn Boy
When I use this the leaves change but there is just green filling the gaps between the leaves
Corn Boy
I still cant get the leaves to change
yeah i know that. but none of textures work. is thios supported by 980 ti?
umsoea
They do work. It's just not a full texture pack, as stated multiple times on my Patreon page.
Hi the texture pack doesent work for me, it show up but the textures doesent work. its just stock minecraft
umsoea
In the next few days, I will release the R5 pack again with SEUS E7.1 Support and I will update the pack to Minecraft 1.13.2 A lot of small changes have been made, basicly I need to adjust every texture map a little bit to get a similar result as in PTGI E6.
How long till you can support the latest version of SEUS?
It just says that its not compatible because it's not done yet
I think it's 1.12 point something
Which version do you support?
umsoea
Strange. Most of the time when people say this, it was working fine but they didn't know it is not a full resource pack. Currently only the blocks in my videos are changed. Can you check if those work? For example emerald or oak planks?
I downloaded this resourcepack, i put the file in resourcepacks folder, i activated it but i don't know why i can't see the new textures...i have set SEUS ptgi E6 as shaders previously
Second, such epic
MAKCtek
first, its awesome!!
