 * Calculate the shadows as a triangle strips while alpha value as the

 * @param vertexCount The length of caster's polygon in terms of number of
 *                    vertices.
 * @param centroid3d The centroid of the shadow caster.
 * @param heightFactor The factor showing the higher the object, the lighter the

 * @param shadowVertexBuffer Return an floating point array of (x, y, a)

 *
 * An simple illustration:
 * For now let's mark the outer vertex as Pi, the inner as Vi, the centroid as C.
 *
 * First project the occluder to the Z=0 surface.
 * Then we got all the inner vertices. And we compute the normal for each edge.
 * According to the normal, we generate outer vertices. E.g: We generate P1 / P4
 * as extra corner vertices to make the corner looks round and smoother.
 *
 * Due to the fact that the alpha is not linear interpolated along the inner
 * edge, when the alpha is different, we may add extra vertices such as P2.1, P2.2,
 * V0.1, V0.2 to avoid the visual artifacts.
