Alias-Free Shadow Maps
In this paper we abandon the regular structure of shadow maps. Instead, we transform the visible pixels P(x,y,z) from screen space to the image plane of a light source P′(x′,y′,z′). The (x′,y′) are then used as sampling points when the geometry is rasterized into the shadow map. This eliminates the resolution issues that have plagued shadow maps for decades, e.g., jagged shadow boundaries. Inco...
متن کاملSample Based Visibility for Soft Shadows using Alias-free Shadow Maps
This paper introduces an accurate real-time soft shadow algorithm that uses sample based visibility. Initially, we present a GPU-based alias-free hard shadow map algorithm that typically requires only a single render pass from the light, in contrast to using depth peeling and one pass per layer. For closed objects, we also suppress the need for a bias. The method is extended to soft shadow samp...
متن کاملImproved Ray Hierarchy Alias Free Shadows
In this article, we introduce and evaluate several new algorithmic improvements to Ray Hierarchies. The improved algorithm is used to produce ray-traced shadows for omni-directional lights in fully dynamic environments. The new algorithmic improvements increase culling rate of the traversal algorithm, in some cases dramatically cutting the number of visited nodes. To evaluate performance, we pr...
متن کاملA Hybrid GPU Rendering Pipeline for Alias-Free Hard Shadows
We present a new GPU pipeline for rendering per-pixel exact shadows that are cast by point lights and parallel lights. Our approach is hybrid in that it uses kD-tree accelerated ray-tracing to determine shadow-ray intersections, and rasterization to effectively reduce both the number of shadow rays to be traversed and the number of sub-spaces to be considered along each of these rays. To achiev...
متن کاملHardware-Accelerated Rendering of Antialiased Shadows with Shadow Maps
We present a hardware-accelerated method for rendering high quality, antialiased shadows using the shadow map approach. Instead of relying on dedicated hardware support for shadow map filtering, we propose a general rendering algorithm that can be used on most graphics workstations. The filtering method softens shadow boundaries by using a technique called percentage closer filtering which is c...
