Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - HDR demonstration (HQ)

This is a video showcasing the then brand new HDR ("high dynamic range rendering") in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast. It was originally shared by Valve in a Steam news update on June 24 2005, 4 months before the release of Lost Coast. And no, "Fixed Aperture" has nothing to do with Portal. http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Half-Life_2:_Lost_Coast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_rendering
