Shadow mapping demo

[motorfreak]

Is there a working demo somewhere showing soft shadow mapping in action?

Please use search function. There are a lot of topics related to shadow mapping. Demos are available too. One of example is XEffects.

Though XEffects isn't "shadow mapping" per se, though you could adapt the code.

Shadow mapping cannot be done in a demo as it requires bypassing the Irrlicht rendering loop (smgr->drawAll()).

Soft shadows is a research topic. But there is a bit on the web - VSM, PSSM, etc.

Where is XEffects? All links I have found were broken or pointed to some file sharing site. Does it have a github repo?

Hey dude,

Actually it is shadow mapping and implements VSM which are pretty "soft" I guess.

Github wasn't really a thing back in 2008 unfortunately
