HDR Movies
No hdr vs. OpenEXR HDR

note the extreme brightness when I turn on HDR is just it initializing, if you start the game with HDR enabled you don´t see that
OpenEXR HDR - Out of the Carrier
pay special attention to the lighting effects when coming out of the darker carrier into the bright sunlight

That quick light transition effect is supposed to simulate what happens when you come out of a really dark environment into a really bright one - at first the bright environment will overwhelm you you until your eyes can adjust, that is what the HDR is simulating.
Note the minor chopiness in these movies is from the capture software killing my hd, the game is smooth during gameplay
