Yup, looks a lot like what I'm trying to do. I'm already rendering the glowing models in a separate render target for my own techniques, I'll try applying the modified HDR pass like you did in stead of my own glows/blurs to see which one looks best. Id have loved to have combined the glow for the HDR and those for the glowing objects in one pass ( we did a similar thing in an engine I worked on ) since blurs are costly, but I'll definately try this, thanks!
