For each light source, compute what the light hits by using the slight source as a camera and doing a render pass. This is typically only done for the primary light in the scene. | |||
At render time, each object can sample into the shadow map to determine if it is occluded or not. | |||

The idea here is to approximate each blocker object as a set of spheres. For any receiver point and each spherical blocker, we can compute a SH approximation of the light blocked. Then the SH coefficients can be added together to get compute the non-occluded light. | |||

See https://iquilezles.org/articles/rmshadows/ to render shadows using raymarching if your scene can be represented as a signed distance field. | |||
