Hi,

another, may be simpler option is SAGA GIS, its analytical hillshading tool includes a ray tracing option:

Kenlo,
Suggest you look at GRASS GIS r.sun , https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/r.sun.html.

    Dear GDAL people:

    Using DSM, I want a "shadow map" not only by the slope
    itself but also by the other slopes. I mean, if a tall and
    steep peak exists, and if it is illuminated by the sun from
    near the horizon, the shadow of the peak falls on a wide
    area of the foot of the mountain. Such shadow is normally
    not estimated by a simple "hillsahde" algorithm, which
    includes the "gdaldem" command. I want to map such
    shadows as well as the normal "hillshade" shadows.

    If you know a library or command to help it, please let
    me know!!
