A D3D11 sample application demonstrating multiple real-time shadow map rendering techniques, including cascaded shadow maps, variance shadow maps, and moment shadow maps. It accompanies blog articles and serves as educational reference code for graphics programmers.
Use cases
- learn how to implement cascaded shadow maps
- compare shadow filtering techniques like PCF and EVSM
- reference code for real-time shadow rendering in D3D11
- study sample distribution shadow maps
- understand variance and moment shadow map algorithms
When to choose
- you want working reference implementations of multiple shadow map techniques
- you're learning real-time rendering with Direct3D 11
- you need to compare shadow filtering quality and performance
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready rendering engine or library
- you target platforms other than Windows
- you need OpenGL, Vulkan, or modern API examples
