unity地形渲染升级:预计算接触阴影
效果展示因为地形纹理不会绕y轴旋转而当前项目是静态平行光,针对这些自由度的限制 想了这套性能最高的预计算可见角度的地形自阴影渲染方案(1次采样).效果又比ue4实时接触阴影或曲面细分+shadowmap 柔和精确.先放最终效果图.

同一个素材 ue4下 阴影更硬,这是因为ue4的接触阴影采用非常有限的步进采样导致 通用性更好,针对性地形不够好.
ue4 下 接触阴影
脑洞过程
最近开始升级地形系统阴影部分,一般成熟的做法是用接触阴影,而且我之前已经在项目中实现了接触阴影.但地形不能直接用,因为地形mesh本身深度变化不能体现地表高度图里像素级的变化,所以一般有2种方案配套,1用曲面细分增加深度图变化精度,2通过高度图做depthoffset,让屏幕空间的深度图产生细节凹凸,这样接触阴影在 查询的时候会按遮挡处理产生细节阴影.做了下效果确实也不错,但曲面细分 或 接触阴影的12次以上采样查询性能都是 十倍与本方案开销.所以写完demo就开始思考性能更好的技术方案.以下是曲面细分+shadowmap效果,实际上shadowmap的精度会更差一些,这里的bias distance等 都完全适配近处地形.而接触阴影效果因为有限的步进导致会更差一些.具体效果可看之前的文章.

曲面细分+shadowmap效果
让我最后决定想一种新方案的 根本原因是这个.因为我地形本身有其他图有免费a通道可用,所以性能上0开销.表里可以看到 不开曲面细分效果不行 开了性能不行.因为是3080 所以不要有性能开销不大的错觉,按增量看非常大.
方案思想
这个想法受到sdf启发,另外是考虑到地形贴图不可绕y旋转,且xz倾斜角度也不会超过90度且,大部分处于水平等因素.静态场景可以预先知道 太阳在哪个方位,只是因为地形会倾斜所以相对仰角会变化(其实方位角也会小幅度改变但不易察觉).所以我们给每个像素记录下 这个点在阳光方位上的 遮挡角度即可.用cube 代替 每个像素不同高度图里的高度信息.可以看到,如果与法线记录夹角,分别是90度,45度,60度,50度60度,70度(目测的大概数值).运行时只要判断 平行光相对于地面法线的 夹角大小即可.大于记录的值就为阴影,否则不是阴影.当然可以用smoothstep做上下10度范围的软阴影.下面是每个像素追踪查询阳光方位200个像素的遮挡统计(从3开始,是因为挨着太近,tan函数的分母太接近0 实际效果误差巨大 用atan2反算一样有这问题).因为高度图1的单位具体多少米没法确定 所以和一个像素具体跨度是多少米之间的关系加个缩放值,具体要根据资源测试.一定要用这样的computeshader来算,cpu算一张2048图需要5分钟,这个1秒内完成.
高度图遮挡角度记录
每个像素遮挡角度的计算
渲染的shader 核心部分也很简单,光线转到对象空间,如果是地形 需要自己算每个四边形网格的切线空间.只考虑了一侧的阴影所以 可以用 localL.y 大小算角度大小.

上面是用plane 测试的结果,如果要用到地形shader里,需要做光线到切线空间转换,比较容易出错我就记录下来,还有 computeshader里方向也要取反.
地形shader 落地效果 牛牛牛，下次把树也加高度图升级下[酷] 以后可以贴图可以专门拿个通道做SDF细节阴影图，把高度图替代掉 好的树也不难 因为只绕y轴转 不愧是大佬[赞] 本移动平台用户看到200觉得可以先羡慕一下。[捂脸] 我找时间弄个低配的感受一下
