HDRI or OpenEXR

Post by motorsep » Tue Sep 19, 2006 2:36 am

I saw some fields in Blender's exporter for OpenEXR images..
Does Indigo support .hdr files? If not, if there a way to convert .hdr to OpenEXR format?

Nope - just exr.

Google for hdr2exr.exe - free converter that works pretty well.

(Thank psor for info).

Thanks boweeb007 :)
Btw, there is alot of resources over the Net where I can get free HDR images and also buy DVD full of hi-res .hdr files.
Do you know by any chance where can I get OpenEXR images for free and also where can I buy DVD with them?

Here's a few: http://gl.ict.usc.edu/Data/HighResProbes/
Yeah, they're not as easy to find. Don't know for sure why there's no hdr support as of yet. Nick, probably just hasn't gotten around to it yet - his hands are pretty full right now recoding bidir and fixing broken features for the 0.6 release. Or maybe there's a licensing issue - just speculating at the moment. Nick would be the one to ask. I imagine we'll have it some day.
