Advantages of Project Shadow Maps

High detail

There is high detail for every shadow, without artifacts due to precision.

These example shows a 256 × 256 Shadow Map, from left to right:

• Shadow with blur

• Normal shadow

• Shadow on objects

• Colored shadow

  

Ease of handling

Project Shadow Maps provide ease of handling for who casts shadows, and at what resolution.

This example shows two lights with different detail and color for the relative shadow maps:

Shadows Blur

You can apply different blur values.

Shadow LOD

A mesh can be connected to a mesh of different resolution that is used exclusively to cast shadows.

In this image example, the shadow of the parallelepiped casts the shadow of a sphere.
