上面的博客已经论述了，为何出现锯齿，并从连续性角度，论述了pcf解决方案，使得阴影能够软。
本文主要是针对算法的实现上，剖析其实现的细节。

#endifreturn shadow;
}
传入的参数：float4 coord是(0,1)阴影贴图的纹理坐标值。
接下来说明三角形面积的计算方式：
如上图所示，红色的p点为阴影处的点。我们要对它进行软阴影处理。
情况1）三角形偏移为0时，三角形面积被分为4个部分的面积情况。
三角形的底为3，高为1.5，之所以使用这样的三角形，因为计算简单。
红色面积：1/8
橙色面积：1
绿色面积：1
蓝色面积：1/8
情况2）三角形偏移为-0.5时，三角形面积被分为4个部分的面积情况。
红色面积：0.5
橙色面积：1.25
绿色面积：0.5
蓝色面积：0
情况3）三角形偏移为0.5时，三角形面积被分为4个部分的面积情况
红色面积：0
橙色面积：0.5
绿色面积：1.25
蓝色面积：0.5
然后推广到更一般的情况，给定偏移offset，计算三角形被分割的四个部分的面积是多少，公式为：
对应的这段代码是：
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// PCF Filtering helpers
// ------------------------------------------------------------------/**
* Assuming a isoceles rectangle triangle of height "triangleHeight" (as drawn below).
* This function return the area of the triangle above the first texel.
*
* |\ <-- 45 degree slop isosceles rectangle triangle
* | \
* ---- <-- length of this side is "triangleHeight"
* _ _ _ _ <-- texels
*/
float _UnityInternalGetAreaAboveFirstTexelUnderAIsocelesRectangleTriangle(float triangleHeight)
{return triangleHeight - 0.5;
}/**
* Assuming a isoceles triangle of 1.5 texels height and 3 texels wide lying on 4 texels.
* This function return the area of the triangle above each of those texels.
* | <-- offset from -0.5 to 0.5, 0 meaning triangle is exactly in the center
* / \ <-- 45 degree slop isosceles triangle (ie tent projected in 2D)

* _ _ _ _ <-- texels

*/
void _UnityInternalGetAreaPerTexel_3TexelsWideTriangleFilter(float offset, out float4 computedArea, out float4 computedAreaUncut)
{//Compute the exterior areasfloat offset01SquaredHalved = (offset + 0.5) * (offset + 0.5) * 0.5;computedAreaUncut.x = computedArea.x = offset01SquaredHalved - offset;computedAreaUncut.w = computedArea.w = offset01SquaredHalved;//Compute the middle areas//For Y : We find the area in Y of as if the left section of the isoceles triangle would//intersect the axis between Y and Z (ie where offset = 0).computedAreaUncut.y = _UnityInternalGetAreaAboveFirstTexelUnderAIsocelesRectangleTriangle(1.5 - offset);//This area is superior to the one we are looking for if (offset < 0) thus we need to//subtract the area of the triangle defined by (0,1.5-offset), (0,1.5+offset), (-offset,1.5).float clampedOffsetLeft = min(offset,0);float areaOfSmallLeftTriangle = clampedOffsetLeft * clampedOffsetLeft;computedArea.y = computedAreaUncut.y - areaOfSmallLeftTriangle;//We do the same for the Z but with the right part of the isoceles trianglecomputedAreaUncut.z = _UnityInternalGetAreaAboveFirstTexelUnderAIsocelesRectangleTriangle(1.5 + offset);float clampedOffsetRight = max(offset,0);float areaOfSmallRightTriangle = clampedOffsetRight * clampedOffsetRight;computedArea.z = computedAreaUncut.z - areaOfSmallRightTriangle;
}
这个公式后面会给出详细的证明。
然后计算四个划分的面积占总面积的多少，由于等腰直角三角形的底是3，高为1.5，所以面积是9/4，求权重比，对应的代码是：
/*** Assuming a isoceles triangle of 1.5 texels height and 3 texels wide lying on 4 texels.* This function return the weight of each texels area relative to the full triangle area.*/
void _UnityInternalGetWeightPerTexel_3TexelsWideTriangleFilter(float offset, out float4 computedWeight)
{float4 dummy;_UnityInternalGetAreaPerTexel_3TexelsWideTriangleFilter(offset, computedWeight, dummy);computedWeight *= 0.44444;//0.44 == 1/(the triangle area)
}此时得到了水平方向的四个权重，然后我们同样的方法得到垂直方向的四个权重，然后咋办？
我们可以把x和y两个看成连续的块，然后把z和w看成连续的块，然后对应代码：
// each fetch will cover a group of 2x2 texels, the weight of each group is the sum of the weights of the texelsfloat2 fetchesWeightsU = texelsWeightsU.xz + texelsWeightsU.yw;
于是fetchesWeightU.x = texelsWeightsU.x + texelsWeightsU.y
fetchesWeightU.y = texelsWeightsU.z + texelsWeightsU.w
然后，就是计算y占(x+y)的百分比，w占(z+w)的百分比
// move the PCF bilinear fetches to respect texels weightsfloat2 fetchesOffsetsU = texelsWeightsU.yw / fetchesWeightsU.xy + float2(-1.5,0.5);
fetchesOffsetsU.x = texelsWeightsU.y / (texelsWeightsU.x + texelsWeightsU.y)
fetchesOffsetsU.y = texelsWeightsU.w / (texelsWeightsU.z + texelsWeightsU.w)
这样就得到的fetchesOffsetsU，是大于等于0的偏移，所以为了得到相对的偏移得归一化到起点。
如上图粉色框框起来的x和y点，其水平起点为三角形的底/2，取负，所以是-1.5
而又因为是相邻每两个像素的归一化，所以绿色框住的起点是-1.5+2=0.5，于是得到上面的偏移：+float2(-1.5,0.5);
同样的垂直方向上也是类似的计算方式，最终我们得到了：
// move the PCF bilinear fetches to respect texels weightsfloat2 fetchesOffsetsU = texelsWeightsU.yw / fetchesWeightsU.xy + float2(-1.5,0.5);float2 fetchesOffsetsV = texelsWeightsV.yw / fetchesWeightsV.xy + float2(-1.5,0.5);
然后我们将转换到(0,1)的范围，直接乘以：
fetchesOffsetsU *= _ShadowMapTexture_TexelSize.xx;fetchesOffsetsV *= _ShadowMapTexture_TexelSize.yy;
这里的_ShadowMapTexture_TexelSize的x、y、z、w分量分别是阴影贴图的水平像素个数倒数，垂直像素个数倒数，水平像素个数，垂直像素个数。
然后就是去采样了：
// fetch !float2 bilinearFetchOrigin = centerOfFetchesInTexelSpace * _ShadowMapTexture_TexelSize.xy;shadow = fetchesWeightsU.x * fetchesWeightsV.x * UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW(_ShadowMapTexture, UnityCombineShadowcoordComponents(bilinearFetchOrigin, float2(fetchesOffsetsU.x, fetchesOffsetsV.x), coord.z, receiverPlaneDepthBias));shadow += fetchesWeightsU.y * fetchesWeightsV.x * UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW(_ShadowMapTexture, UnityCombineShadowcoordComponents(bilinearFetchOrigin, float2(fetchesOffsetsU.y, fetchesOffsetsV.x), coord.z, receiverPlaneDepthBias));shadow += fetchesWeightsU.x * fetchesWeightsV.y * UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW(_ShadowMapTexture, UnityCombineShadowcoordComponents(bilinearFetchOrigin, float2(fetchesOffsetsU.x, fetchesOffsetsV.y), coord.z, receiverPlaneDepthBias));shadow += fetchesWeightsU.y * fetchesWeightsV.y * UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW(_ShadowMapTexture, UnityCombineShadowcoordComponents(bilinearFetchOrigin, float2(fetchesOffsetsU.y, fetchesOffsetsV.y), coord.z, receiverPlaneDepthBias));
#endif
float2 bilinearFetchOrigin = centerOfFetchesInTexelSpace * _ShadowMapTexture_TexelSize.xy;
是p点，就是要处理的点。
然后就是：
UnityCombineShadowcoordComponents(bilinearFetchOrigin, float2(fetchesOffsetsU.x, fetchesOffsetsV.x), coord.z, receiverPlaneDepthBias)
这个函数
/**
* Combines the different components of a shadow coordinate and returns the final coordinate.
* See UnityGetReceiverPlaneDepthBias
*/
float3 UnityCombineShadowcoordComponents(float2 baseUV, float2 deltaUV, float depth, float3 receiverPlaneDepthBias)
{float3 uv = float3(baseUV + deltaUV, depth + receiverPlaneDepthBias.z);uv.z += dot(deltaUV, receiverPlaneDepthBias.xy);return uv;
}baseUV + deltaUV，就是进行uv的偏移。然后z值，可以uv和阴影bias点乘，加到z上，最终得到一个三维的采样坐标。
最终：fetchesWeightsU.x * fetchesWeightsV.x * UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW
得到一个点的权重，然后分别做四次即可，得到四个方向上的阴影贡献值，即可得到最后软阴影效果了。
