It just looks I dunno, over bright? in the hdr shot, seems like it's over doing it some.....maybe that's how it's spose to look. I prefer like crisp and clear visuals, granted Oblivion is nice looking, but the walls and floor seem to me, kinda smudgy, and blurred. The hdr shot just seems do be over doing the brightness some to me, uness it's spose to look that way on both things in the game, and it's maybe that kinda game. Trees, and grass look AMAZEING, I can't say enuff about how realistic they look, but is it me or does the other stuff such as bricks, floors etc.. seem somewhat blurred edffect? Again maybe it's the game style, dunno

Well I figured out what the deal was, HDR is bright at times, but if you use it in say behind camera veiw, it looks SO amazeing, along with the fact I did some tweaking, and man oh MAN what a difference it made. Oblivion looks and plays NICELY now, very nice.
I went to http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?CIID=36222 and used all but the last page of tweaks, and man did that ever help. I don't have as much grass now, but that's ok I play in 16x12 now and smoothly with VERY little chop or anything.
Anyways, I use the behind camera veiw now any time I get a chance, and it looks very kewl, specailly outside, man oh man does hdr look sweet.
