I'm having a funny issue with shadows in 1.7. What am I doing wrong? The shadow from the plane is on the plane.

This issue I believe comes from depth fail. I'm not sure on how to specifically fix the issue in Irrlicht, but the built-in shadowing system in Irrlicht is fairly simple AFAIK.

I have updated the code from SteelStyle and have new shadow code working upt o one issue: The projection matrix is wrong, which means that the shadow moves pretty strange when the camera moves. But I'm pretty convinced that Irrlicht 1.8 will have a fixed version for stencil shadows. Moreover, BlindSide is working on ShadowMaps for Irrlicht.

I have also seen weird shadow errors with my projects, but after reading that a new shadow system is going to be included in 1.8 I decided not to integrate X-Effects or something like that, focus on other things to be done and wait for 1.8 for the shadows.
