Schwarz07 versus reference for

various light sizes and luminosity

function for a random scan line.

 

 

The above image shows the luminosity function of a random scan line

of the resulting soft shadow for increasing light size (0.0 => 0.65).

( The histogram is of the scan line in bright colors. )

For each light size the histogram is shown on the lower right corner.
