Hardware 3D (C++ DirectX Graphics) Tutorial 54

Fourth part in a mini-series on basic dynamic occlusion shadows with shadow mapping. This video covers the concept of "peter panning" and self-shadowing due to sampling error in the depth map.

Topics Covered

• The mechanics of peter panning and how to fix it
• Nonlinear depth woes
• PCF filtering to fix pixelated (aliased) shadow boundaries
• Self shadowing mediated by depth sampling frequency (resolution) and depth slope of the receiving surface
