[osg-users] Shadows : Creating multiple osgShadow::ShadowedScene

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Robert,

osgShadow doesn't currently have an ShadowTechniques that support
multiple light sources, the closest to this is the
ViewDependentShadowMap with it's support for multiple shadow maps,
which currently is related to it's support of depth partitioning of
the shadow map, but I've had it in mind that this would be generalized
at a later date to support multiple light sources as well.   This
would require support in the shaders as well as the .cpp.

Have a look at how it's implemented.  You could implement your own
ShadowTechinque using a similar approach, or subclass from
ViewDependentShadowMap.  I wouldn't recommend the approach you are
suggesting though, using multiple ShadowedScene's would just
complicate implementation and usage.

Robert.

These ShadowedScene's will be pre-rendered, each in their own shadow map texture unit. Then in the main viewer pass, a custom fragment shader will use the different shadow map texture units for shadowing. For the main viewer pass, only the regular scene will be rendered, not any of the shadowed_scene's.
