Here an example how to create realtimeshadows

Customer:
For the next release you could add a realtime shadow by simple adding a lightsource.
If you want to know how to do this please call me.
Tel.: XXXXXXXXXXXX

Bye XXXXXXX


Reply:
Hi XXXXXXX,

It's a bit more complicated than that. We want to do it for 2.0 release, but that's not 100% certain. Currently you can do shadows using a blob-shadow, or bake your shadows into a texture...

Thanks for the offer of assistance in any case.


Customer again:
Here an example how to create realtimeshadows:

rayhitssurfce()
{
if (ray.isfirsttime)
lightensurface();
else
darkensurface();
}

I hope somebody in your team knows what I mean with this. If not then you can contact me at the telephone number below.

I hope this will help you to create realtimeshadows. (I would like to use them)

Bye XXXXXXX

// So we also detect the driver DLL version (5.3 is ati2dvag, 6.14.10.6517).
