About lightvalve

I'm a 3D artist working in the film, television, and video game business. I've been working as an artist and technical director for over 10 years. My credits include Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, The Flash (TV series), Crysis 3 (video game), among many others. I've always had an interest in film making, visual effects, and the technology behind it.

Industrial Light and Magic has an open source HDR format, Open EXR.  It’s a very compact file format excellent for displacement maps and HDR images.  Photoshop and Shake plugins as well as the source code are all available here: OpenEXR
