But I don't think that Niko would reject a patch adding such stuff. At least after some code cleaning and such. It could be also a problem of patents?!

I bet Niko is working on Irrlicht by interest, not technological superiority.

Hehe, that's right. But parallax mapping would be cool as next feature listed there to put into Irrlicht. And if anybody creates a 'Stencil Shadow and Penumbral Wedge Rendering'-SceneNode and sents it to me to insert it into the next version: Would be just cool
