basically its a way to simulate real world shadows.

lots of ways to do it shadowmaps shadowvolumes etc.

because they try to cast of every lightsource there pretty heavy on cpu time though, so its pretty much needed to cull sources you cant see or the engine would slow to a crawl.

sorry not good at explaining .

I made a couple attempts for this thread myself, I think the first one is "better".



(no replacement files were used other than a rtlights file from dpmod, this is straight id1 data, just cvars changed)

Aahaaa, well, thanks for explaining it..

@Lordhavoc:

I have a question regarding shadowvolumes...In my engine, I have a problem that if I draw my shadows after drawing the objects casting them, there are artifacts on the surface of the mesh, presumably because the shadow volume starts right on the surface. Is there some trick(well I know there is) to make it so this doesn't occur?
