Irrlicht Engine

Instead of volume shadows?
Or any extensions to irrlicht, that can do this.
Sorry, if question is too silly, but google and docs didn't help.
Thanks.

maybe its possible with shaders?

Heh. I'm interested in this kind of shadows only because of their small requirements. So shaders... you understand.

Make a circle gradient of going from black to transparent in your favorite program. Put it on a plane below the character.

i dont think we mean the same

You could try using Giles or something to lightmap your level. It adds shadows. You can't change the shadows in the game, however.

Are you talking about stencil buffer stuff? FFP dynamic/realtime shadows?

or simply reformulate and ask it differently, Buddy.

I'm talking about simple shadow, that is projected only on the ground.
No casting on itself or on the walls, for example.

yes its possible, just place a 2d image with a dropshadow under the model and make it transparent, that should look like a drop shadow (projected shadows are something different )

With "simple projected shadow" I mean shadow, that is projected to the one plane.
Your variant is emulation
May be I'll try to implement SceneNode projection to the ground depending on the specified light source by myself.

Thanks to everybody.
And sorry for my English.
