Well, I actually tried to get the light-space coordinates that way origionally, but on my card ...	starstutter	Blog	43	59,026	07-01-2008, 03:43 PM
		Thread: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Post: RE: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Thomas Wrote:There is never any redrawing of any geometry or anything like that. All I do is to render the scene to shadow map (from the perspective of the light) using a single "forward rendering" pa...	starstutter	Blog	43	59,026	07-01-2008, 02:57 PM
		Thread: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Post: RE: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" OH OH OH! I get what you're saying. In your step 2, you're rendering the light geometry, not shadow-specific geometry Quote:"2. Render the shadow casting light (using light geometry: sphere, cone, e...	starstutter	Blog	43	59,026	07-01-2008, 02:29 PM

Render the shadow casting light (using light geometry: sphere, cone, etc) to scene and use shadow map from #1 to calculate occlusion.

		Thread: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Post: RE: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Thomas Wrote:As for deferred shadowing, if you mean that you render the shadow map result(s) to texture and then using them in the light rendering then that is used by Crysis. That technique is mostly...	starstutter	Blog	43	59,026	06-30-2008, 07:38 PM

		Thread: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Post: RE: Thomas, 2008-06-18, "Character version 2.0" Engine looks great and I like the new shadow system :) About penumbras lighting system, have you guys thought about using deferred shading? Or is that too hardware strenuous for your liking? I recent...	starstutter	Blog	43	59,026	06-29-2008, 09:34 PM
