Prefered Hdr format?

[chriserskine]

Hi,

I'm putting together some hdr's to sell and I'd like to get some feedback on how they are delivered.

They are currently in hdr format, resolution is 10k x 5k

Option1.
10k hdr file

Option2.
10k exr (can output multi-res file)

Option3.
10k hdr
10k exr
4k (hdr or exr)
10k jpeg

I've been just using hdr, since i was on vray 1.5 for a while and they worked better. but with vray 2 exr make sense.

if i go with option 3, it may mean i end up putting fewer hdr's online. at least at first.

also is anyone interested in low res light maps, that have been blurred, with a bit of de-saturation. or is this something you'd just prefer to make yourself from the high res versions?

thanks

Chris

I'm also wouldn't mind some feedback on ratio.

I've attached an example of how I'm using them now. though i haven't seen anyone else do it this way.

these 360's were generally taken from the roof of my car. and rather clone it out for something that won't ever been seen I've added a black bar (also its not creating extra light where is isn't needed).

I've done this to keep a 2:1 ratio, and therefore they will map correctly by default.

would you prefer if these were cropped instead?

thanks
