During The Forge's Graphics Programmer 2019 Summer Internship I was tasked to develop a unit test that showcases state-of-art real time shadow algorithms. The unit test was later shipped to Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Xbox One platform

​

My contribution includes:

• Development of Adaptive Shadow Map, a fast tiled shadow map algorithm that solves perspective aliasing issue which ultimately provides higher shadow quality. I also implemented  Parallax Corrected Cache algorithm on top of it which approximates moving shadow without drawing tiles of shadow map every frame.

• Implementation of Real Time Signed Distance Field Soft Shadow, a ray marching shadow techniques that utilizes baked SDF (Signed Distance Field) data so that the ray marching process can be ran in real-time frame rate.
