To render point light shadows, you create a six-face cube-map depth texture, a shared depth buffer, and a shadow pipeline, then render the scene using per-face view-projection matrices and cube-map shadow samplers.

The best way to set up a shared depth buffer for omnidirectional shadow mapping is to pair it with a six-face cube-map depth texture and a single shadow pipeline, rendering the scene six times using per-face view-projection matrices.

Yes, SDL GPU supports real-time rendering of point light shadows by binding cube-map shadow samplers to a shadow pipeline, utilizing six-face depth textures and per-face view-projection matrices for omnidirectional coverage.

You need per-face view-projection matrices for point light shadows when rendering a six-face cube-map depth texture, as each face requires a unique 90-degree perspective to capture scene depth from all directions surrounding the light source.

Yes, you can achieve HDR-capable shadows in real-time rendering by integrating the cube-map point light shadows with the SDL GPU rendering pipeline, using a shared depth buffer and shadow samplers for high dynamic range lighting.
