Made a custom ReShade preset with ray tracing for my first Black Mesa play through. Black Mesa ReShade using Pascal Gilcher Ray Tracing shader using the following ReShade effects:

ReVeil Top
MXAO
RTGlobalIllumination
Screen Space Reflections
ReVeil Bottom
SMAA
FXAA
Filmic Anamorphic Sharpen
Ambient Light
Colourfulness
Deband

Also, I would recommend turning off screen space reflections for ourdoor Earth scenes.

Find and download ReShade. FInd Pascal "Marty McFly" Gilcher Ray Tracing Shader oin his Patreon. You have to donate to his Patreon to gain access to the latest RTGI on his Discord.

NOTE: I recommend using RTGI version 0.23. Versions 0.24 and after do not seem to work.

Install ReShade to the Black Mesa exe (bms.exe), enable all effects, install RTGI shaders, then load preset from within ReShade and you're
done. Make sure to disable Anti-Aliasing in the in-game options. Also, I
would recommend turning off screen space reflections for outdoor Earth
scenes.
