abstract = "In this article, we present a method for rendering dynamic scenes  featuring translucent procedural volumetric detail with all-frequency  soft shadows being cast from objects residing inside the view frustum.  Our approach is based on an approximation of physically correct shadows  from distant Gaussian area light sources positioned behind the view  plane, using iterative convolution. We present a theoretical and  empirical analysis of this model and propose an efficient class of  convolution kernels which provide high quality at interactive frame  rates. Our GPU-based implementation supports arbitrary volumetric  detail maps, requires no precomputation, and therefore allows for  real-time modi?cation of all rendering parameters.",
