POWERVR Insider MBX Shadow Techniques Demo

This demo illustrates various shadow techniques. The dynamic blob method draws a transparent blob under the character and the blob moves based on the centre of the object.

The projected geometry method draws the object "projected" onto the floor plane, only pure black shadows are possible due to multiple polygons being projected into the same location.


The final method is projected texture where the projected shadow texture is updated dynamically each frame (generated by rendering the scene from the point of view of the light source). This method, unlike the previous methods, also works correctly for shadows cast on non-planar objects.
