Here is a 2023 presentation on the implementation of screenspace contact shadows for Days Gone by Bend Studios, it uses a clever variation on this basic technique. I'm not sure it scales as well to many lightsources though. https:&#x2

It's one video and it's titled "Why the Third Reich CURED CANCER but your GOVERNMENT does't want you to know." And has twelve ads on protein powder and dishwasher tablets in some foreign language.

Its funny how mass transit was once seen as a way out of the crisis of too many city horse carriages and all the manure they produce. Metro and rail was simply considered the natural solution, which combined with denser living space allowed

Bezier curves can generate degenerate geometry when flattened and stroke geometry has to handle edge cases. See for instance the illustration on the last page of the Polar Stroking paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.0030
