DaikenTana from Garry's Mod forums has posted some renders of HL2 models with real HDR Lighting, they look incredible. Make sure you check them out in this thread.

DaveJ is apparently re-working another Dust level, to combine the best of Dust and Dust2. It will be released with PCGamer UK, full details and screenshots can be found on Dave's Blog.

Finally, some info on the "Lost Coast" HDR lighting level. Gary McTaggart, a Senior Software Engineer for Valve Software has let slip some info regarding different detail settings. Read that here.

it should be more like "there are a bunch of other people making other DUST maps so dont worry."..
There are 1000s of dust maps, and everyone look the same.

and for your note, he didn't make DD and DD2 for Source.

Those HDR pics look absolutely stunning.

If he made the original Dust maps then what is the problem? As long as someone is the original creator of a map and they don't screw up the map I don't see any harm in them going back and giving it a face lift.

Those HDR pics look amazing. I wish my comp could handle the HDR though.

ok and how much of them were good dust maps? yes 1 and 2 ...
no he didnt make them, but he invented them...and that's why dust is good, becuase of the gameplay, not for the graphics...i hate sand
