the movie actually is a bad example of hdr rendering, i have no clue why they chose this szene for it, guess it was done....
but if you see other hdr demos or if you got a decent picture editor like photo impact 10 or an uptodate psp you can convert 32 bit pictures to 64 bit hdr pictures an play around with the lightning contrasts etc wich gives you many possibilitys and the pictures looks plain better, you can do more bright highlights without getting the picture to gray out for example.
of course thats only a small part of hdr rendring, there is stuff like blooming hdr cube maps etc so i think there is a lot of pontetial even if this example looks ehh weak  |
