I am currently working on shadow volumes,but I have encountered the following problem:
One of the first steps of this technique is to determine the silhouette,based on the position of the light and the geometry of the model.All the docs I've read state that the model must be "closed" in order to get things right.But consider this example:
. -->LIGHT
OOO
OOOOO
OOOOO
OOO
OOO
OOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOO
What is the silhouette here?The object is closed but obviously there are two silhouettes,one "small" and one "big".Also,the part of the object that cast the "big" shadow volume is shadowed by the "small".Am I getting something wrong or should I cast two shadow volumes for one object?
