Shadow techniques

I think the alpha shadows would be more dynamic, or you could do what they did in Wolfenstein and have static lights and shadows.

Are you talking about shadows cast by the world and hit by the world, or shadows from moving objects?

I''m talking about shadows cast by the world.
But it would be nice to know how to do dynamic shadows from moving objects abd lights.

There''s another best solution : don''t cast shadow !
Only lite the world and shadows will be cast nicely

It''s a way to go, and to me a very good since you avoid wasting time lighting stuff you''ll have to shadow thereafter.

2 pass (light+shadwo) = 0 pass
1 pass (light) is still one pass...

But wouldn''t that lead to comletely black shadows?
In the real world shadows aren''t totaly unlit.

nop, since you use still use ambient lighting that don''t cost as much as other types of lights...

Shadows won''t be absolutely dark...
