一,Planar Shadow
原理就是将模型压扁之后绘制在需要接受阴影的物体上,这种方式十分高效,消耗很低。具体实现过程参考Unity Shader - Planar Shadow - 平面阴影。具按照自己的理解,其实就是根据光照方向计算片元在接受阴影的平面上的投影位置,然后绘制即可,这种方式还是只适合在平面上绘制阴影。

二,Projector Shadow
Projector Shadow是常用的实时阴影实现方式,其基本原理是通过摄像机将需要显示阴影的物体,渲染到一张RenderTexture(RT)上,记录下物体的颜色值(可设置为自定义颜色),并将RT关联到Projector组件的材质上;然后通过Projector组件将需要接收阴影的物体以Projector组件的材质再渲染一遍来实现阴影的显示。
