Hello all You should use lispsm or pssm shadow : even for terrain this gives nice looking shadows (with pssm you can limit the max far distance, use this say 250m, and you will get nice shadows) but once we have the latest idea implemented, the shadow quality gets much better, this would be of sure true, but may the performance will be very bad. so i am looking for high performance and robust technic.
I don't really like to implement this with osgPPU, because of the problem robert told (see submission discussion) not tha osgPPU is bad, but it would better be nicely integrated into osg and osgShadow, not only for osgShadow and its quality the histroy buffer could have high impact, also for others shaders. Then for the default shader in openscenegraph may we should think to redesign them, because actually we have shaders in shadow, ... , but each of the re-writes the very basics, may we could think about of GLSL shader modules, code modules then we can put them together, this would be greate. i have some idea how this could be solved. but i have to think about more of this idea. /adrian 2009/2/1 Simon Loic <[email protected]> > It would be very interested to see the resulting shadows of this method in > osg.
