Description
First practical use of HDR for me. The environment is a pic of a house we just bought down in South Carolina. Suggestions and comments welcome!

You did an excellent job with your first time . Now you can do more magic art ;) .

Hi. The table texture is too blurred towards the camera. Maybe use some different objects as well :)

Looks like a nice HDR map - however, it doesn't look as though it's actually lighting the scene - is it just being used as a reflective/environment element?

@kromekat: Yea, I kinda forgot about realistic lighting so its just a reflection/environment texture. Thanks for the comments!

As a matter of fact... Unless you have combined multiple exposures into 1 floating point format image (ie. radiance), it is not HDRI by any means. Then to use it in the luminance channel of a sky for image based lighting with Radiosity turned on would actually make it fit the description of GI or HDRI as many refer to it.

Its a beautiful map, but it looks like an LDR image. are you sure its HDR? anyways, very nice picture. i love the wood-like texture.

After many comments from different sites, I have discovered that I did not use a real HDR map. Making an HDR is much more complicated than I originally thought. Thanks for the comments though everyone!
