Forward Shadow Mapping

:Forward shadow mapping is a new approach to real-time shadow generation.The traditional shadow map algorithm maps the pixels in the eye's view backwardinto the depth buffers of light sources (i.e. shadow maps), which is similiar to andoften implemented as an extension to texture mapping. Our algorithm reversesthis process by using 3-D image warping techniques to transform shadow mappixels forward into the eye's view to directly indicate which pixels are lit; it doesnot interfere with...
