Wang et al. [2010] has already proposed a real-time rendering method treating arbitrary shapes, but it requires such huge computational costs and graphics memories that it is very difficult to implement in a practical rendering pipe-line. Inside a translucent object, the energy of incident light attenuates highly depends on the object's optical thickness. Translucent Shadow Maps (TSM) [2003] is able to compute object's thickness using depth map at light position. However, TSM is not able to calculate thickness accurately in concave objects.Read More
