A fork of the Xash3D FWGS game engine that adds a real-time path-traced renderer (RayTracedGL1), primarily targeting Half-Life 1. It replaces the classic rasterized rendering pipeline with GPU ray tracing.

Use cases

• play Half-Life 1 with real-time path tracing
• run GoldSrc-era games with ray-traced lighting
• experiment with a path-traced game engine
• see how ray tracing can be retrofitted into an existing engine
• benchmark real-time path tracing on classic game content

When to choose

• you want to play Half-Life 1 with modern ray-traced visuals
• you're researching real-time path tracing in a full game engine
• you have a ray-tracing-capable GPU and want a drop-in enhanced engine

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose game engine for new projects
• your GPU lacks hardware ray tracing support
• you need a stable, officially licensed engine build (the fork has no license file)
• you want to run non-GoldSrc games
