ABSTRACT

There are many standard uses of the shadow algorithms described in this book, with the main aim of generating photorealistic images of digital 3Dmodels. In this chapter, we discuss other applications of shadow algorithms, such as

● Integrating 2D images with 3D graphics, where 2D represents live action, and 3D represents digital creation. This is often referred to as augmented reality (Section 6.2) [433].
