I’ve started experimenting with adding textures to HDR and here’s my first serviceable result, though I’m not 100% pleased. The goal here was to get a picture with a good tone mapping to it during the editing process and then overlay a texture that blends in with the image. Sort-of like giving it a ‘paper’ feel. This is really my first attempt that hasn’t resulted in complete disaster…
And when the frustration of that picture not turning out quite right hits, I went to the old ‘HDR of the Sky’ standby to make myself feel better. In this case, it’s a picture from our back yard of Leander High School Stadium.
