Abstract

Multi-view soft shadows rendered using: (left) traditional multi-pass rasterization; (right) view-independent rasterization (VIR), both methods produce high quality shadow penumbra, but VIR requires only a fraction of the time

Existing graphics hardware parallelizes view generation poorly, placing many multi-view effects – such as soft shadows, defocus blur, and reflections – out of reach for real-time applications. We present emerging solutions that address this problem using a high density point set tailored per frame to the current multi-view configuration, coupled with relatively simple reconstruction kernels. Points are a more flexible rendering primitive, which we leverage to render many high resolution views in parallel. Preliminary results show our approach accelerates point generation and the rendering of multi-view soft shadows up to 9×.
