主要是用模板緩沖區(qū)來實現(xiàn)。

Rendering Shadows
At the top level, the rendering steps look like the following:
- If ambient lighting is enabled, render the entire scene with ambient only.
- For each light in the scene, do the following:
- Disable depth-buffer and frame-buffer writing.
- Prepare the stencil buffer render states for rendering the shadow volume.
- Render the shadow volume mesh with a vertex extruding shader. This sets up the stencil buffer according to whether or not the pixels are in the shadow volume.
- Prepare the stencil buffer render states for lighting.
- Prepare the additive blending mode.
- Render the scene for lighting with only the light being processed.
Shadow Volume并不是一個沒有缺陷的技術。除了高像素填充率和陰影邊界檢測外，在繪制過程中還可能出現(xiàn)錯誤。錯誤的主要原因是當一個幾何模型在計算自陰影時，它的面通常被完全照亮或者完全變暗，這取決于這個面是否朝向光源。光照計算必須使用頂點法向而非表面法向。對于接近平行光源的面，它會被完全照亮或者完全變暗，而實際上應該部分處于光源中。這是從stencil shadow volume中繼承來的問題，在計算陰影時必須被考慮。這個問題可以通過增加mesh密度來解決，這也增加了處理mesh的時間。頂點法向和面法向越接近，表面的問題就越少。如果程序不能把問題限制在可接受的范圍內，就必須考慮使用其他的算法，比如PRT或者Shadow Map。
