The DX renderer does not produce shadows, but is possibleto generate acceptable shadows by modifying the colors of individualvertices of objects in a scene. The macro described here performs thefollowing steps:<ul><li> The obects to be shadowed are transformed to the coordinate systemof a light places in an arbitrary direction at infinity.<li> A depth buffer is calculated from the viewpoint of the light.<li> The depth buffer is turned into a "volume" data set by stacking itwith itself in such a way that it overlaps all the vertices in theoriginal objects.<li> The volume depth buffer is mapped onto the original vertices as new data.<li> The depth buffer value at each vertex is compared to the depth atof the vertex. If the vertex is farther from the light than the valuegiven by the depth buffer, it is dimmed.<li> The objects (with modified colors) are transformed back to world coordinates.</ul>This approach (a sort of vertex-mapped, z-buffer method) has some limitations:<ul><li> The accuracy of the shadows depends on the density of vertices onan object. Objects with just a few vertices will have "jaggie" shadows thrown onto them. <li> The resolution of the depth buffer must be high to get acceptable shadows.<li> The Compute module cannot resolve transform objects. Any objectsbuilt using Rotate, Translate, Scale, or Transform modules will notshadow correctly, unless you use the <!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><!WA1><a href="http://www.tc.cornell.edu:80/DX/DXTIPS/calculate.html"> Calculate </a>macro to apply the transforms.<li> The module uses a <b> lot </b> of memory.

Set tozero, it will cause surfaces to "dim" themselves.<li> The object_scale input overrides the automatic conversion of the objectsize to camera coordinate space.<li> The offset input allows the objects to move along the z-axis of the light.</ol><p><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><img src="http://www.tc.cornell.edu:80/DX/DXTIPS/shadow.module.dialog.gif"><p>To download the test program click <!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><a href="http://www.tc.cornell.edu:80/DX/DXTIPS/shadow.net">here. </a>.
