Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possable to do HDR with A6.
Having a talk to my friend before and he told me that it might be more than just a shader, it might also be calculations, that I suppose is done thoughout the engine.
My question is, is it possable to do real (not fake) HDR with the Acknex 6 engine?

Cheers

yes it is but you will need render to texture from the professional version

and what about released render to texture dll ?

Matt do you know how to use render to texture?
i never found a tutorial for that...

i think that capture screen trought dx (dephi dll) ,but only in 128px (i think)

Sorry for my eng.

I think you may need a dll, because you must first of all change the main render target to a floating point texture. Maybe this can be done with pro, but i dont know..

Basically the process you use is this:

1) change the main render target to a floating point texture
2) render the scene normally to the flaoting point texture.
3) do the post-processing like tone-mapping, bloom etc.
4) switch the main render target back the the default
5) then finally draw the LDR image using a screen aligned quad.

Thanks...
But i dont have much experience with shaders, so i cant do much with it

By the way "Aufderheide" sounds german has it somehing to do with germany?

Aufderheide is my last name, it is German, but i'm American...and no I dont speak German

I knew you are American but wasnt sure...

(Im going to order your sphere engine in a few weeks )

By the way, do you know how to use parallax mapping with non-dynamic-lights?
Its a big Problem for me...

you don't...
