HDRI Example
This is from the same image as my last post, but re-rendered to use HDRI. HDRI is a relatively new technology as used in computer graphics. It means High Dynamic Range Imaging, and basically allows for a more realistic way to show the various levels in light that your eye would see. In computer graphics, it essentially makes things look shinier when they should be, brighter, and just more natural in general. Unfortunately, I haven't quite figured out how to do things with it exactly right, and as a result I'm limited to small shots for now. (And this took my computer about 2.5 hours to render...)
