cast_shadow — 3D `render` op

• Data kinds: mesh × vector → image2d

• Call: import render_shadow; render_shadow.cast_shadow(V, F, light, *, pose=None, intrinsics=None, width: 'int' = 256, height: 'int' = 256, directional: 'bool' = True, penumbra: 'float' = 0.0, samples: 'int' = 16, shadow_res: 'int' = 512, bias=None, pcf: 'int' = 0) -> 'np.ndarray' (or ops3d.get("cast_shadow"))

Usage

Compute a mesh's cast / soft shadows and return a visibility map (H,W) ∈ [0,1].

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.
