A new experiment: applying the HDR technique to textures
Posted by Vincent on Sep 4, 2008 in Inspiration | 3 comments
Lately, I have been a little obsessed with HDR photography. Especially the work of Trey Ratcliff is breathtaking and he also has a very good tutorial on his blog “Stuck in Customs”, where he covers the ins and outs of the HDR technique. Inspired by all this, I thought that I could try and apply this special technique to my textures. And this is what came out of it – my first HDR beach sand texture. I hope you like it. Please let me know, what you think of this little experiment, so I can decide, whether it is worth to continue in that direction.

I think its quite an interesting result, and for sure would love to see a similar technique used again. Nice one.
Jesus that is beautiful. I will definitely use this in a max test render doing a pseudo macro camera shot of some sort.
I am glad you like it, guys! I will make sure to post some more HDR textures in the future.
