Shadow mapping or shadowing projection is a process by which shadows are added to 3D computer graphics. This concept was introduced by Lance Williams in 1978, in a paper entitled "Casting curved …

Shadow mapping is not too difficult to understand, doesn't cost too much in performance and quite easily extends into more advanced algorithms (like Omnidirectional Shadow Maps and Cascaded …

In this tutorial, we'll take a look at shadow mapping, a method of simulating such shadows using multiple render passes, and how to implement it using a Frame Bu er Object.

Nov 28, 2025 · One of the most common techniques for rendering shadows in real time is shadow mapping, a method that lets game developers add depth and realism without utterly tanking …

In Tutorial 15 we learnt how to create lightmaps, which encompasses static lighting. While it produces very nice shadows, it doesn’t deal with animated models. Shadow maps are the current (as of 2016) …

Jun 15, 2025 · Shadow Mapping is a widely used technique in Visual Effects (VFX) and computer graphics to generate realistic shadows in 3D scenes. At its core, Shadow Mapping involves …

May 30, 2024 · Shadow mapping is a fundamental technique in 3D graphics that allows for realistic rendering of shadows. By simulating how light interacts with objects in the real world, shadow …

May 4, 2025 · This page provides an overview of the shadow mapping techniques implemented in this tutorial codebase. We'll explore the fundamental shadow mapping approach, examine how shadow …

Mar 12, 2024 · At its core, shadow mapping is a technique that determines which areas of a scene are in shadow relative to a light source. It does this by simulating the light’s point of view and recording …

In this lab, we'll implement a technique called Shadow Mapping. Shadows greatly increase the realism of computer generated images, and shadow mapping is one of the most commonly used techniques to …
