Best shadow volume tutorial?

I’m looking into shadow volumes as an alternative to shadow maps which I have little use for. However, there hasn’t been a very in-depth tutorial or whitepaper on such a subject that is relevant in the modern age that has appeared on my radar. Specifically, I am interested in dynamic real-time shadows as my lights are going to be moving around a lot as well as my objects. Any place I should start? I’m also using OGL.

enjoy ?

I'd recommend also this one: http://ogldev.org/www/tutorial40/tutorial40.html

My current blog on programming, linux and stuff - http://gameprogrammerdiary.blogspot.com

That would be tutorial that teaches you “the Carmack's Reverse”. On following tutorial I agree even on siluette construction, I implemented it the same way
