RandomChaos 3D Engine - Shadows

Added shadow mapping to the engine today. As you can see shadows are cast on the terrain, need to now add the shader HLS stuff to the model shaders. Looking good I think for basic shadow effect.

it's a flat surface. not hard. draw the model again but entirely flat to a surface then lower the opacity.

until you get the shadows to wrap, they're no better than pre-rendered.

OK. This is just an example. The shadows do wrap, if I had used a height map you would see it. When I made this clip I had not added the shadow maps to the mesh shader and that's why the shadows are not cast on the models.

Thanks for you constructive input though...

ok im sorry for being a hassel bout how did u make the 3D engine

[NemoKradXNA]

No worries, I have written it based on the components I have written on my blog.

ok quick question NemoKradXNA is this C++ or is this C# one cause on one of them i see you were using C# at first...

[NemoKradXNA]

This is C# and XNA.

Just started to look into shadows, so, no, not at the moment. But I dare say I will get onto them at some point.

Coming along nicely. Oddly mesmerizing :) Any plans for something like cascaded shadow mapping or soft shadows with vsm or exponential shadow maps?

Here's another post to spur you on! Love the updates indeed.
