The generation of digital shadows is key to creating realistic and convincing
images in a variety of applications, from films to video games, to simulations, to
scientific applications. But producing shadows is a challenging problem, and a
diversity of methods have sprung up in the last three decades, each developed
to solve a different aspect of the challenge. Consequently, those aiming to render
shadows are faced with algorithms developed for real-time and for offline render-
ing, with algorithms developed for polygonal and for a ...
