    What is "image-based rendering" ?

    Hmm I only know once place where the actually use HDRI images and thats in Computer generated scenes that are way too high in poly for games. Basically in CG apps, lights are too perfect so to get a descent light set up we use HDRI's as backdrop images since they contain light data. Then...

    Why Valve is quiet

    Latest hacker news: The latest source code has been leaked possibly by a gabe - since he was spotted infront of a photocopier for 2 weeks. He told all the other vavle members to leave his photo copying machine alone and he kept on repeating, 'its all mine, mine!'
