yea, good improvement so far. here is a little shot of some artifacts on the rotating cubes for which there may be a solution...



maybe you can try one of those ideas or even combine both. what about rendering the depth path with inverted CullMode.. i always fail when the question is which one. i guess its CCW so you see draw the backsides for the depth calculation

and you could offset the vertexpositions a bit:
In.position.xyz += (In.normal.xyz,matWorldViewProj)*factor;

maybe you already tried that? if not, it could be worth a shot

Thanks you two for the hints
I will be quite slow with updates on these in the next time. Because of the compatibility problems with a higher shadowquality, I plan to realise the shadows completely with a dll. But my nearly not existing knowledge about c++ and directx will slow this down a lot But this is a good possibility to learn it, although it is probably not the easiest goal . This means that I will have to read a lot of tutorials which slows me down a lot^^. But I am progressing It would also allow the shadows to be used with each 3dgs version which uses dx 9 (6.30.1 and above) and with each edition (standart/extra/comm/pro).

Would you be interested in me uploading this Project with the scripting? But I won´t write any instructions and it is not THAT easy to use at the moment and far not perfect.
Just let me know if you are interested in me uploading it or not

Slin

me off course. i guess others as well

Who wouldn't

People please reupload it!!!
