Detailed Description

Parallel Split Shadow Map (PSSM) shadow camera setup.

Remarks: A PSSM shadow system uses multiple shadow maps per light and maps each texture into a region of space, progressing away from the camera. As such it is most appropriate for directional light setups. This particular version also uses LiSPSM projection for each split to maximise the quality.

Note: Because PSSM uses multiple shadow maps per light, you will need to increase the number of shadow textures available (via SceneManager) to match the number of shadow maps required (default is 3 per light).

◆ setNumStableSplits()

void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::setNumStableSplits ( uint32 numStableSplits )

inline

PSSM tends to be very unstable to camera rotation changes.

Rotate the camera around and the shadow mapping artifacts keep changing.

setNumStableSplits allows you to fix that problem; by switching to ConcentricShadowCamera for the first N splits you specify; while the rest of the splits will use FocusedShadowCameraSetup.

We achieve rotation stability by sacrificing overall quality. Using ConcentricShadowCamera on higher splits means sacrificing exponentially a lot more quality (and even performance); thus the recommended values are numStableSplits = 1 or numStableSplits = 2

The default is numStableSplits = 0 which disables the feature

◆ setOptimalAdjustFactor()

void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::setOptimalAdjustFactor	(	size_t	splitIndex,
		Real	factor
	)

Set the LiSPSM optimal adjust factor for a given split (call after configuring splits).

◆ setSplitPadding()

void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::setSplitPadding ( Real pad )

inline

Set the padding factor to apply to the near & far distances when matching up splits to one another, to avoid 'cracks'.

◆ setSplitPoints()

void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::setSplitPoints	(	const SplitPointList &	newSplitPoints,
		Real	blend = `0.125`,
		Real	fade = `0.313`
	)

Manually configure a new splitting scheme.

Parameters

newSplitPoints	A list which is splitCount + 1 entries long, containing the split points. The first value is the near point, the last value is the far point, and each value in between is both a far point of the previous split, and a near point for the next one.
blend	Factor to use to reduce the split seams.
fade	Factor to use to fade out the last split.

◆ setUseEsm()

static void Ogre::ShadowCameraSetup::setUseEsm ( bool useEsm )

inlinestaticinherited

◆ setXYPadding()

void Ogre::FocusedShadowCameraSetup::setXYPadding ( Real pad )

inlineinherited

setXYPadding FocusedShadowCameraSetup tries to make the shadow mapping camera fit the casters as tight as possible to minimize aliasing.

But due to various math issues sometimes it ends up being too tight.

If you experience missing shadows or with gaps/holes you may need to increase the padding.

Most likely you want the reverse. In particular circumstances you want maximum quality thus you want to minimize this padding

Parameters

pad	Value in range [0; inf) Negative values may cause glitches
