Abstract:
Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, a system, and an article for rendering shadows in a graphical image of a virtual environment. An example computer-implemented method can include: generating a digital image of a virtual environment; providing a depth buffer for the digital image that includes a depth value for each pixel in the digital image; rendering a first shadow in a first region of the digital image by, at least, adjusting colors and depth values for pixels in the first region; and rendering a second shadow in a second region that partially overlaps the first region by, at least: (i) identifying a shadow rendering region to be within the second region but outside the first region, based on the adjusted depth values; and (ii) adjusting colors and depth values for pixels in the shadow rendering region.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n rendering a virtual object within at least one of the first region and the second region when depth values for the virtual object are less than the adjusted depth values for the first and second regions.
