hi

I might be terribly wrong with this but your custom sceneNode inherits from the ISceneNode class so it does have the "addShadowVolumeSceneNode" function. Can't you just call it for shadows?

As far as I know that function (addShadowVolumeSceneNode) is located in IAnimatedMeshSceneNode -class, not in ISceneNode.

But maybe I can try to inherit my scenenode from IAnimatedMeshSceneNode-class instead using ISceneNode...?

Sorry my bad english

i looked it up and yeah you're right. But when iheriting from i'm not sure if your custom object is stored as a Mesh so you can add Shadows with addVolumeSceneNode (but i really dont have much knowledge of this so im not sure).
