What is NostalgiaVX?
This is quite an interesting project with its very own niche. As some of you might know, basically all ready-to-use packs that use voxels for their lighting in some way are going for a realistic look, so I was wondering if its any good in a stylised pack like Nostalgia Shader. Thus the idea of NostalgiaVX was born, but unlike any other pack it uses a combined lighting approach that leverages both a light propagation volume and path-tracing to create performant high-fidelity results at a reasonable loss in lighting accuracy.
NostalgiaVX is available for Tier 2 Patrons (5€), with occasional dropdowns to Tier 1 (1€). The screenspace path-tracing in Nostalgia Shader should provide you with a reasonably good free alternative if you can't pay or decide not to pay.

I’ve been focusing a lot on the rework of NostalgiaVX, which solved many performance issues by leveraging many advanced features of Iris, as well as the release of FastPBR in the last month, thus these two have received some interesting updates.

I have released the first work-in-progress version of NostalgiaVX’ internal overhaul a few days ago as some of you might already know and I’d like break this first update down a bit more.
