Blinding lights (HDR?)

[Jay9475]

You know at the train station at the start of half life 2, just in the 'lil corridor you're taken through to get to the interrogation room?

Well remember the light on the ceiling in that hallway and when you look at it sort of gets in your eyes like a real light would, well how exactly do you do that? Is it just a case of wacking up the brightness insanely or something mroe precise?

Any help would be appreciated,

thats just an env_sprite. a glow sprite. if you open up dm_lockdown.vmf, theres a really bright purplish one as an example where that torture chair is.
