"I add a new option in the HDR Reader.
The RAW option store the RGBE values into a Image, to use
this option you need to decode the RGBE value in the frag-
ment shader. Follow the cube map glsl decoder:
vec4 textureCubeRGBE( uniform samplerCube sampler, vec3 coords )
{
ivec4 rgbe = textureCube( sampler, coords ) * 255. + 0.5;
float e = rgbe.a - ( 128 + 8 );
return vec4( rgbe.rgb * exp2( e ), 1.0 );
}
This option is usefull for who have a outdate hardware like
FX cards and want to do cool things.
Finally this patch is need by a new HDR Rendering example
that I will put on the Wiki."

From Robert Osfield, tweaked the above to allow the original casting to RGB8 as an
