Shadow Algorithms

The scene contains a 4-sided room that are light-colored blue. Within this scene are various objects included a texture-mapped sphere and several stacked objects. There are 3 different shadow algorithms being used: projective shadows, shadow volumes, and shadow maps. Projective shadows from objects will only cast shadows on the floor and room, but not on each other or themselves. Shadow volumes and shadow maps will cast shadows on both themselves, other objects, and the floor. There is a white point light source which adjustable by a user.
