You have just reached the quest index for the journey of shadows! This is a compilation of posts about Shadow Mapping in which I aim to explain not just what shadow mapping is, but also how to solve practical issues and implement advanced techniques. Please be aware, though, that this is a gathering of brain dumps of what I DID, not the holy tome of shadow rendering! If you find any errors, please let me know! :)
