Hav Researched shadow maps, want to contribute to Ogre

Post by adityav »

Hi,

I am Aditya. A 2nd year student at NSIT, Delhi. I am new to Ogre. But i am hoping I can contribute something to it.
I have, for past one year, researching various shadow mapping methods and hence have gained understanding of various shadow mapping techniques, OpenGL and GLSL.
I was hoping to apply my knowledge to Ogre. It would be great if someone can give me helicopter view of what needs to be done an implemented.

thanks
Aditya

You have to run shadow samples, searh ogre forum for "soft shadows sample" (VSM) PSSM contribution, lispm and other projection problems, etc...

Ogre already has a lot, but it can be either improved, with more samples or new techniques can be added (lvsm, dual paraboloid VSM for point light, soft shadow with reprojection cache, DX10/GL3 hybrid techniques, etc.)

You have to digg and find out what current state Ogres is in (using SVN trunk preferrably), what you can add, all in a very detailed and specific manner.

I have already implemented LVSM for my studies. Will go through the codebase and see what i can dig up.
