Abstract
A computer-implemented method for displaying shadowing effects includes displaying, on a computing device, a visual object that has a first edge and a second edge that is different from the first edge; generating a shadow for the visual object using a first shadowing technique along the first edge; generating, along the second edge, shading for the visual object using a technique that differs from the first shadowing technique; and updating the shadow and the shading substantially simultaneously with movement of the visual object by a user of the computing device.
