So HDR stands for lens flares?

Neon glowing plants is awsome?

whats HDR

Screamfeeder · 05-11-2005, 02:16 AM

HDR=High Dynamic Range

And yes those neon plants ARE really cool because that is a more realistic representation of "real world" lighting.

Basically HDR just brings out detail in darker regions of a picture.

The problem with using it in a video game is that 9 times out of 10, when you are designing your lights, you make them TOO bright, thus, when HDR is applied it can make it look over-bright.

But to the eyes of a Game Dev or someone into Graphic Design in games, that is a beautiful picture.

Go Go Guinness!

First set of pics looked fucking awesome, second seemed a bit "overdone" if you catch my drift. It's getting pretty ridiculous how good game graphics are becoming.

Let me guess. If you think Farcry looks bad, you think WoW looks better don't you?
