Review on Rendering Rigid Shadows Using Hybrid Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a review on rendering rigid shadows precisely and proficiently. Our review provides the details of all the existing methods for rendering shadows and the hybrid approaches. Hybrid approaches merge the two or more existing algorithms. The algorithm merges shadow map and shadow volume computation. Analysis of shadow volume, shadow map and projection algorithm is performed and is mentioned in the paper along with the detail of important elements used for the implementation of the algorithm. Keywordsbuffer, mapping, projection, rendering, shadow, volume.

Shadow Casting with Stencil Buffer for Real-Time Rendering
We present a new method for real-time rendering of soft shadows in dynamic scenes. Our approach is based on shadow volume algorithm which provides fast, accurate and high quality shadows. The shadow volume algorithm is used to generate hard shadows before adding fake soft shadows onto it. Although the generated soft shadows are physically inaccurate, this method provides soft shadows that are s...
متن کاملReal-time appearance preserving out-of-core rendering with shadows
Despite recent advances in finding efficient LOD-representations for gigantic 3D objects, rendering of complex, gigabyte-sized models and environments is still a challenging task, especially under real-time constraints and high demands on the visual accuracy. The two general approaches are using either a polygonor a point-based representation for the simplified geometry. With the polygon-based ...
متن کاملEfficient Shadow Algorithms on Graphics Hardware
Shadows are important to computer graphics because they add realism and help the viewer identify spatial relationships. Shadows are also useful story-telling devices. For instance, artists carefully choose the shape, softness, and placement of shadows to establish mood or character. Many shadow generation techniques developed over the years have been used successfully in offline movie productio...

Author Samuli Laine Title Efficient Physically-Based Shadow Algorithms This research focuses on developing efficient algorithms for computing shadows in computer-generated images. A distinctive feature of the shadow algorithms presented in this thesis is that they produce correct, physicallybased results, instead of giving approximations whose quality is often hard to ensure or evaluate. Light ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Hybrid Shadow Rendering Algorithm
We present a hybrid algorithm for rendering hard shadows accurately and efficiently. Our method combines the strengths of shadow maps and shadow volumes. We first use a shadow map to identify the pixels in the image that lie near shadow discontinuities. Then, we perform the shadow-volume computation only at these pixels to ensure accurate shadow edges. This approach simultaneously avoids the ed...
