Advanced Texture Mapping • Using multiple textures • Multi-Pass textures • 1st Pass: render the scenes as usual • Create textures from the output images • 2nd Pass: render the scenes again using the created texture
Shadow Map • Using two textures: color and depth • Relatively straightforward design using pixel (fragment) shaders on GPUs.
Eye’s View Light’s View Depth/Shadow Map Image Source: Cass Everitt et al., “Hardware Shadow Mapping” NVIDIA SDK White Paper
Basic Steps of Shadow Maps • Render the scene from the light’s point of view, • Use the light’s depth buffer as a texture (shadow map), • Projectively texture the shadow map onto the scene, Use “TexGen” or shader • Use “texture color” (comparison result) in fragment shading.
What’re in the Example Code? • A C++ class for storing matrix state: class OpenGL_Matrix_State { void Save_Matrix_State(); void Restore_Matrix_State(); void Set_Texture_Matrix(); } • A proxy rectangle for debug
(1) Rendering from Light’s View • Set the camera to the light position. • Viewport set to the same size as the texture. • To avoid the floating point precision problem (casting its own shadow to a surface) , depth must be shifted: • glPolygonOffset(..., ...); • glEnable(GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL); • Shading could be turned off • We only care about the depth!
(2) Creation of Shadow Map (Texture) • Draw the objects (from light’s view) • To create a depth texture, use: • glTexImage2D( GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, shadowMapSize, shadowMapSize, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0); • Then use glCopyTexSubImage2D()to copy the frame buffer to the depth texture.
(3) Generation of Texture Coordinates • When we render the scene again from the normal camera view: • We store the light’s view to the texture matrix. • The texture matrix is then passed to the GLSL shaders. • gl_TextureMatrix[0] * vertex gives us the homogeneous coordinates in light space • Divide by w to obtain the texture coordinates. • Watch out! Must shift from [-1, 1] to [0,1]
Normalized Coordinates • Independent of the screen resolution or window size. • Clip coordinates: after Model-View and Projection transformation. • Normalized Device Coordinates (NDC): after division by w.
OpenGL Transformations • Detailed definitions and equation derivations at: http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_transform.html
(4) Depth Comparison in Fragment Shader • Compare two depths: • Depth read from the shadow map • Depth by transformation to the light space • In the shadow if ____?_(your exercise)____ • Set a darker color for shadowed surfaces

Calculator vs. Computer • What is the difference between a calculator and a computer? • Doesn’t a compute-r just “compute”? • The Casio fx3600p calculated can be programmed (38 steps allowed).
Turing Machine • Can be adapted to simulates the logic of any computer that could possibly be constructed. • von Neumann architecture implements a universal Turing machine. • Look them up at Wikipedia!

Global Effects shadow multiple reflection translucent surface
Quiz • Q1: A straightforward GPU pipeline give us local illumination only. Why? • Q2: What typical effects are missing? Hint: How is an object drawn? Do they consider the relationship with other objects? Shadow, reflection, and refraction…
With Shadows Without Shadows • Wait but I’ve seen shadow and reflection in games before…
Faked Global Illumination • Shadow, Reflection, BRDF…etc. • In theory, real global illumination is not possible in current graphics pipeline: • Conceptually a loop of individual polygons. • No interaction between polygons. • Can this be changed by multi-pass rendering?
