How do you handle transparency with deferred shading? Is it possible to combine stages, e.g. a deferred shading stage with a shadow map stage? I'm completely new to the world of staging and try to get a feeling for its importance and where to use it myself. I have written some basic light and material shaders and that works fine. But I have to go for more complicated techniques like reflection maps, bump maps, ambient occlusion, multiple lights (>> 8) , brushed materials etc. along with shadows. And I have to do it right, robust and efficient :-). Theory of the techniques is mostly not problematic, but how to map these correctly into my scene graph is not well understood yet by me. Any guidance in this world is very much appreciated. > ...As both of them > are deferred shading algorithms the primary rendering has to produce > the buffers required by the post processing.
