Shadow map issue
Author
Hi, i'm working on shadow mapping now using OpenGL and CG and I hava a little problem, i guess it's the so called "negative projection". The thing is i don't know how to fix that in the fragment shader. There are some methods that suggest cliping everything behind the light but i'm doing only 1 rendering pass.
The fragment program:
Hi,
I don't know if you've tried this, but user clipping planes shold do the trick (I did this when I was playing with projectors...they are dead easy to setup). Only problem is that it's a fairly recent feature and not all video cards support this.
Oh yeah, I seem to remember some trick that utilizes the near/far clipping planes to work as an arbitrary clipping plane. I've never tried this, and I don't have a link handy but it might be worth looking into.

thanks, clipping planes might work if i'd render in 2 passes, one for the geometry that receives shadows and one for the others. But how can i achieve this in only 1 pass?
You just need to test in the shader if the point you are shadowing is behind the light or not. One way is to kill all those points ( with a clip plane ).
Another way is a 2x1 texture with a white and a black texel, mapped to the light's Z axis. You can use this to combine with your shadowing or lighting term to make or or the other cancel out.

Can you explain please how to map it to the lights Z axis?Thanks
Well, once you put the vertex through the lightviewprojection matrix, the w component of the vertex will contain the view space Z value from the light's point of view.
In opengl, that's along the -Z axis, so you want to use this to create your texture coordinate.
Now, since the left texel has black, and right one has white, we'll need to reverse the coordiante, or reverse the texture, and we want to light to map to the middle of the 2x1 texture
Then it returns white if it's in front of the light, or black if behind.
Or, you could do this with code, like

shadow_mask = tex2d( -vertex.w + 0.5f, 0.0f )Then it returns white if it's in front of the light, or black if behind.
Or, you could do this with code, like
if ( -vertex.w > 0.0f ){ // may cast or receive a shadow}else{ // can't cast or receive a shadow}

thank you for the reply, i tried both methods but still doesn't work, i am wondering is the projection matrix constructed correctly? It does project the shadow as it should but i also get a black region beside the reverse projection.
Here is the code for matrix generation
And the shaders
The difference between ShadowTexMat and lightViewProj is that in the later i don't scale and translate...but i tried making them the same and still don't get correct results.
I also tried the other method you suggested but makes no difference. The shadow_mask value is about 0.5 when mapping with vertex.w or i get some stripes if mapped with x,y or z like this.
I can't figure what's wrong :(...thanks

CMatrix4 projMatrix; projMatrix.LoadIdentity(); projMatrix.Scale(CVector3(0.5f*float(800.0/1024.0), 0.5f*float(600.0/1024.0), 1.0f)); projMatrix.Translate(CVector3(1.0f,1.0f,0.0f)); projMatrix.postMultiply(CMatrix4(lightProjectionMatrix)); projMatrix.postMultiply(CMatrix4(lightViewMatrix)); projMatrix.ExportMatrix(mt);And the shaders

sorry to bump this again but after multiple attempts i haven't manage to make it work correctly. I tried the 2 methods presented here, also tried using an attenuation map that i project...but the projection suffers the same problem.
I apologize again but anyone has any ideea? I'm trying to accomplish this in only 1 pass. Thank you

Hi..
I have GLSL code and a VERY short tutorial on my site.. hopefully it might help.
Ask if you wonder anything (and I will dust of that code once more ;])
Good luck!
