View Full Version : high dynamic range lighting


[FU2]InYourEye
When I logged into steam tonight I checked out the news. This looks like it going to be pretty cool. I wonder what the hardware requirements will be.

One feature that we'll be adding to the Source engine in the coming months is high dynamic range lighting. To showcase this we've taken a part of the Highway 17 chapter of Half-Life 2 and worked it into a single level that incorporates HDR along with some new gameplay. We're calling this short level "The Lost Coast," and it will be made available free of charge to Half-Life 2 customers that meet a specific set of high end hardware requirements. We'll be publishing those requirements soon.

They showed a couple screen shots (concept?) of what the game will look like too. I'll see if I can't find them somewhere.
