When I tried to use stencil shadows in the irlicht tutorial and demos it doesnt show anything, what is wrong? I have an stencil buffer I tried changing the rendering formats but no luck.
Make sure your current color depth is the same as the engine. If you compile with 32Bit then your colordepth has to be 32Bit. (i've got a GeForce2 MX 400 ) As long as they match shadows work fine
BTW, I don't get any shadows in the Tech Demo either... they work fine everywhere else though.
