[Shadow problem] Mini versions of objects in the shadows

Hi,

my problem is the following:

This artifacts in the shadow are a reproduction of the objects in my testroom.
If somebody knew how to get rid of this, telling me would be appreciated

If you need some code i can post it, but I don't think its necessary since all I do is to add the shadows without parameters.

Best regards,
nFec

Please excuse me pushing this up again but i still couldn't resolve this.

As said, if you need more information to come to a conclusion, i will provide it.

Thank you all very much in advance,

Try moving the camera out of the shadow and report back if the artifacts disappear...

I'd say mandrav is on the right track here. Irrlicht doesn't do zfail in the case that camera is inside a shadow volume, so zpass is used all the time and that doesn't do shadows correctly in this situation.

Ups, I forgot to mention they _only_ appear when I'm in the shadow.
So this is a known bug and no fix avail?

Damn, thats a pretty serious flaw...
