Abstract:
Systems and methods that facilitate efficient and effective shadow image generation are presented. In one embodiment, a hard shadow generation system comprises a compute shader, pixel shader and graphics shader. The compute shader is configured to retrieve pixel depth information and generate projection matrix information, wherein the generating includes performing dynamic re-projection from eye-space to light space utilizing the pixel depth information. The pixel shader is configured to create light space visibility information. The graphics shader is configured to perform frustum trace operations to produce hard shadow information, wherein the frustum trace operations utilize the light space visibility information. The light space visibility information can be considered irregular z information stored in an irregular z-buffer.

Claim (Index 16):
An electronic system comprising:\n a processor configured to perform operations comprising hybrid frustum trace shadow operations to generate results comprising a shadow effect, wherein the hybrid frustum trace shadow operations comprise: dynamic re-projection operations; and frustum tracing operations; a memory configured to store information for the processor, wherein the information comprises information associated with hybrid frustum trace shadow operations; and a display configured to render shadows in accordance with the shadow effect.
