Tessellation-Independent Smooth Shadow Boundaries
We propose an efficient and light-weight solution for rendering smooth shadow boundaries that do not reveal the tessellation of the shadow-casting geometry. Our algorithm reconstructs the smooth contours of the underlying mesh and then extrudes shadow volumes from the smooth silhouettes to render the shadows. For this purpose we propose an improved silhouette reconstruction using the vertex nor...
متن کاملSmooth shadow boundaries with exponentially warped Gaussian filtering
Shadow mapping is widely used in computer graphics for efficiently rendering shadows in real-time applications. Shadow maps cannot be filtered as regular textures, thus their limited resolution can cause severe shadow map discretization artifacts in the rendered images. To solve this problem, several techniques have been proposed, including variance shadow maps (VSM) and exponential shadow maps...
متن کاملSmooth GPU Tessellation
Models used in real-time graphics are commonly rendered using triangular boundary representations. Triangulation approximates flat surfaces very well, but requires many fine triangles to accurately represent curved surfaces. This project implements two methods for smoothing coarse input meshes using GPU tessellation shaders to obtain smooth surfaces.
متن کاملExtraction of Uniformly Accurate Phase Functions Across Smooth Shadow Boundaries in High Frequency Scattering Problems
Several recent numerical schemes for high frequency scattering simulations are based on the extraction of known phase functions from an oscillatory solution. The remaining function is typically no longer oscillatory and as such it can be approximated numerically with a number of degrees of freedom that does not depend on the frequency of the original problem. Knowledge of the phase of a solutio...
متن کاملSmooth Penumbra Transitions with Shadow Maps
We present a method for rendering aesthetically correct soft shadows that exhibit smooth inner and outer penumbrae and self-shadowing. Our approach is an extension of ordinary shadow mapping; in an additional step, occluder shadow silhouette edges, as seen from the center of an area light, are detected and extruded into so-called Skirts. This step is done entirely in image space, and as such do...
