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).

Member Function Documentation

◆ calculateSplitPoints()

void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::calculateSplitPoints	(	uint	splitCount,
		Real	nearDist,
		Real	farDist,
		Real	lambda = `0.95`
	)

Calculate a new splitting scheme.

Parameters

splitCount	The number of splits to use
nearDist	The near plane to use for the first split
farDist	The far plane to use for the last split
lambda	Factor to use to reduce the split size

◆ setSplitPoints()

void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::setSplitPoints ( const SplitPointList & newSplitPoints )

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.

◆ setOptimalAdjustFactor() [1/2]

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'.

◆ getSplitPadding()

Real Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::getSplitPadding ( ) const

inline

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

◆ getSplitCount()

uint Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::getSplitCount ( ) const

inline

Get the number of splits.

◆ getShadowCamera()

virtual void Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::getShadowCamera	(	const Ogre::SceneManager *	sm,
		const Ogre::Camera *	cam,
		const Ogre::Viewport *	vp,
		const Ogre::Light *	light,
		Ogre::Camera *	texCam,
		size_t	iteration
	)		const

virtual

Returns a LiSPSM shadow camera with PSSM splits base on iteration.

Reimplemented from Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup.

◆ getSplitPoints()

const SplitPointList& Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::getSplitPoints ( ) const

inline

Returns the calculated split points.

◆ getOptimalAdjustFactor() [1/2]

Real Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::getOptimalAdjustFactor ( size_t splitIndex ) const

inline

Returns the optimal adjust factor for a given split.

◆ getOptimalAdjustFactor() [2/2]

Real Ogre::PSSMShadowCameraSetup::getOptimalAdjustFactor ( ) const

virtual

Overridden, recommended internal use only since depends on current iteration.

Reimplemented from Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup.

◆ setOptimalAdjustFactor() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup::setOptimalAdjustFactor ( Real n )

inlinevirtualinherited

Adjusts the parameter n to produce optimal shadows.

Remarks: The smaller the parameter n, the stronger the perspective warping effect. The consequence of a stronger warping is that the near shadows will gain quality while the far ones will lose it. Depending on your scene and light types you may want to tweak this value - for example directional lights tend to benefit from higher values of n than other types of light, especially if you expect to see more distant shadows (say if the viewpoint is higher above the ground plane). Remember that you can supply separate ShadowCameraSetup instances configured differently per light if you wish.

Parameters

n	The adjustment factor - default is 0.1f.

◆ setUseSimpleOptimalAdjust()

virtual void Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup::setUseSimpleOptimalAdjust ( bool s )

inlinevirtualinherited

Sets whether or not to use a slightly simpler version of the camera near point derivation (default is true)

◆ getUseSimpleOptimalAdjust()

virtual bool Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup::getUseSimpleOptimalAdjust ( ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Gets whether or not to use a slightly simpler version of the camera near point derivation (default is true)

◆ setCameraLightDirectionThreshold()

virtual void Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup::setCameraLightDirectionThreshold ( Degree angle )

virtualinherited

Sets the threshold between the camera and the light direction below which the LiSPSM projection is 'flattened', since coincident light and camera projections cause problems with the perspective skew.

Remarks: For example, setting this to 20 degrees will mean that as the difference between the light and camera direction reduces from 20 degrees to 0 degrees, the perspective skew will be proportionately removed.

◆ getCameraLightDirectionThreshold()

virtual Degree Ogre::LiSPSMShadowCameraSetup::getCameraLightDirectionThreshold ( ) const

virtualinherited

Sets the threshold between the camera and the light direction below which the LiSPSM projection is 'flattened', since coincident light and camera projections cause problems with the perspective skew.

◆ setUseAggressiveFocusRegion()

void Ogre::FocusedShadowCameraSetup::setUseAggressiveFocusRegion ( bool aggressive )

inlineinherited

Sets whether or not to use the more aggressive approach to deciding on the focus region or not.

Note: There are 2 approaches that can be used to define the focus region, the more aggressive way introduced by Wimmer et al, or the original way as described in Stamminger et al. Wimmer et al's way tends to come up with a tighter focus region but in rare cases (mostly highly glancing angles) can cause some shadow casters to be clipped incorrectly. By default the more aggressive approach is used since it leads to significantly better results in most cases, but if you experience clipping issues, you can use the less aggressive version.

Parameters

aggressive True to use the more aggressive approach, false otherwise.

◆ getUseAggressiveFocusRegion()

bool Ogre::FocusedShadowCameraSetup::getUseAggressiveFocusRegion ( ) const
