Title:
- Single-pass shadow volumes for arbitrary meshes
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We introduce a new method for rendering shadow volumes of arbitrary meshes as fast as those of specially prepared models, i.e., with a single pass over the shadow geometry. We use only unsigned 8- or 16-bit formats, which are supported on all major video-game console and workstation GPUs.
