BeamNG Better Graphics Tutorial

First Up what you need:
1. BeamNG Ultra Settings (or lower is you have a less powerful pc)
2. CK Graphics Setting Mod: Graphics Setting Mod
3: Reshade
4: My Reshade Preset. (attached file)
5. (Optional but stongly recommened and paid) Pascal Glitcher RTGI

UPDATED VERSION. DOWNLOAD 1.1

Step 1: Install Reshade, WITH BEAMNG CLOSED!

First: go to the link above for reshade
Click download


Second: Click Download reshade (whatever version is up do date)


Third: Open the installer. and click BeamNG.drive.x64.exe

Then click next
After that uncheck OpenXR and select DirectX 10/11/12

Then click next
now with my extract my preset file
and now click browse, find the place where it is located and open it

now click next.
Now you should get this and your done!
(something else i recommend is changing the home reset point in beamng to alt-home or something, so when you open the reshade menu it doesnt reset your car)

But if you want Ray Tracing and have RTGI heres the steps to installing (you still need to install reshade)
Go to Beam root folder (steam/steamapps/common/beamng.drve/)
open Bin64

Then Open reshade-shaders

Then drag the contents of RTGI to Reshade-shaders

And RTGI is done.
Step 2: Load Into BeamNG (dont think you need to be told how to do that)
Now that your in BeamNG
your ui will look a bit different

You most likely will get use to this so dont freak out when it appears like this
Now click "Home" on your keyboard and this will appear (without the errors)

Just make sure that you are using m reshade preset.
and thats done!

Step 3: CK Graphics Settings Mod
So now what you want to do is download the CK Graphics settings mod from the link i have at the top of the post.
Put the file into your mods folder
Now what you have to do is setup a keybind
To do that go to options > Controls

search for "Graphics" and under General Debug you will see "toggle graphics settings"


Now set up a keybind
I personally choose F10 but you can choose whatever you want.

Now using the hotkey you set up you can expand high end graphics features.

Now you can enable all of these features or just a few

Personally These are my settings




Step 4: World editor tweaks
Now that the game is looking quite good already

there are a few world editor tweaks we can do to improve graphics.
Click F11 to open the world editor

Now if you dont have scene tree or inspector go to window > inspector. and then window > scene tree
1: Clouds
In the scene tree search "cloud"
now this will come up

delete clouds_1
Now click on clouds and in the inspector this will show up

Now what you want to do is expand 'Textures' and then '0' '1' and '2'
Now this is what you see

Now
Put the TexScale in [0] to 4
In [1] make it 5
in [2] make it 8

Next you want to copy these settings



Step 2: SunSky Tweaks
What you want to do is search "Sky" in the scene tree and then click on it.

Now in the inspector put the 'skybrightness' to 100 (note you can always bring it down)
put the 'sunSize' to 0.2 (it'll come handly later on)
put 'rayleighScattering' to 0.001
put 'sunScale' to #FFA05FFF

Now put 'groundAlbedo' to white


Scrolling further down you will find
'FlareType'
'FlareScale'
and 'occlusionScale'

You want to put FlareType to 'LightFlareExample2'

Now put the 'flareScale' to 2
and put the occlusion scale to 0.001

Also you can change the Time Of Day to 16:20 or 7:00

ONLY DO THESE IF YOU HAVE A GOOD PC
Scroll a little further down until you find 'texSize'
now what you want to do is put the 'texSize' to 2048
a little further down you will find 'logWeight', you want to put this to 0.990

And now you are good for BeamNG Graphics
