Nick, I may look into the code but don't expect much this time. You need to attach the code first, though ;-). Few academy guys wrote couple dissertations on rasterization and aliasing errors in shadow mapping. Unless you try to do some exotic stuff like variance or logarithmic map you will have to use polygon offset. I guess you will end up to cranking up PolygonOfset even more if current values fail at some distance. I don't really have other tricks in my sleeve.

Please have a look at the updated code. The uniform is updated thru a callback and it multiplies the matrices, still there is a visual artifact.I dont have compute_near_far. The projection matrix is fixed with very small far plane (100 units, with the znear of 0.01).

If you have COMPUTE_NEAR_FAR it may clamp near plane to very small value which may impact depth resolution. Other issue maybe related to GLSL float precision. The trick with multiplying view space coord by inverse view matrix to get world coord is performed on float values inside GLSL. Precision wise it would be better to multiply light camera MVP matrix by main camera INVERSE VIEW on the CPU. Osg Matrices use doubles. Put the result of the multiplication on GLSL matrix Uniform and use it to multiply gl_Vertex in the shader. Such approach multiplies matrices with high precision and resulting matrix will be better suited to be cast on single prec. GLSL matrix. The drawback of this solution is: you need to update the uniform every frame, because main camera view changes with each move.

Its interesting, I put the light source in move, when it moves backwards, the obstacles are lighten ok, but forward, when the light comes close to the obstacles, the lighting is incorrect with shimmering . Any clue how to resolve this artifact ? Nick http://www.linkedin.com/in/tnick On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 4:48 PM, Trajce Nikolov <[email protected]> wrote: ok .. make sense.

Boosting depths in shadow map with glPolygonOffset usuallly fixes this. There are many schools for PolygonOffset settings. I usually set glPolygonOffset( 1.1, 4.0 ) and draw objects with front face culling (see StandardShadowMap::ViewData::init(0 for details ). But for this setup models need to work correctly with backface culling on. If you do not enforce backface culling PolygonOffset may need different initialization.

There is a lots of shadow shimmering on my GF8800. You will have to add some depth bias while rendering shadow map. Selection proper PolygonOffset values is usually a matter of trial and error so leave this for you.

I use shader to simulate lght lobes thru phong lighting in the shader. Then I use shadow maps to detect the area behind the obstacles that need not to be lighten. Most is mixture of shadow maps technique with lighting scheme.

Now studying osgShadow and the techniques. I want to a shadow map technique to disable the lightening of the scene behind obstacles. I have some code done, but not working. I need some help, someone experienced with GLSL to spend a minute or to to have a look and if possible to spot the problem. Anyone?
