We have some screenshots for you of our maps 'Severance' and 'Ramapge'. The screens taken show how the maps look with HDR enabled. NEWS: we have posted new news on our website, visit HERE to get a short description of each map and a development update.
I think you'll find (without even too much research) that farcry 1.3 hdr uses a true HDR effect while hl2 will use a 'bloom' effect instead... (though neither should be really better or worse)
Farcry has the lighting advantage, hl2 will have the speed advantage ( plus hl2 using the immitation effect will allow AA... which shall be ace ( and prolly a better compromise )
Sort this out for me...is Far Cry's HDR actual HDR, or just bloom?
For all I can tell, HDR is just a overdone bloom effect.
they look nice any way
Awsome stuff string'

quickly googled this, if you scoll down abit, it gets into HDR in far cry.
- I'm not sure what defines 'actual' HDR, but the effect is experimental (added in patch 1.3) and either way, it works pretty well.
:)
Yea the bloom is a little bit over the top for my tastes
Nice though...
Looks very sexy! Cool screens! ;)
Thanks guys :)
Farcry doesnt use HDR, it uses bloom. HL2: Lost Coast uses 'real' HDR. Anyway, still looks nice though.

now I just gotta get a 6800... dammit
Different companies use different defintions for HDR. There is no current standard.
But if both are capable of the 'eye adjustment to light' effect then they are both HDR in my books.
