Yesterday I improved my shadowmapping code a bit and placed some plants on the terrain.
I was able to get rid of most problems through using the latest beta, which on the other side made me some problems to include a watershader...
The biggest problem left is the low resolution of the shadows if the light is too far away from the objects.

You can find a short clip of it in action here:

I hope you can finish it.

Yeah looks pretty good mate except for the low resolution its looking good.
ide like to ask you a few questions in private about this lol.
please pm me in reply so i know you are one of the people who actually reply to messages.

excellent. the shadow still flickers a bit (>resolution issue, like c_d said).

can the palmtree throw shadows on other models like grass etc?

It actually does if you carfully watch the moment the camera is near to the shadow towards the end, you´ll see a small weed model which is shadowed from the palm.

Very good eye ^_^

very nice. I like the realtime casting as well.

ah yes, right. now i see it.
