Hi Sergey,

As far as I know, In modern games, the CSM (cascade shadow map) is popular
with a post- PCF filter (may 4x4 or more). VSM (variance shadow map) is
very good, too and very easy to be integrated with current
ViewDependentShadowMap implementation. As the cascade way is already
included in Robert's plan (the MultipleShadowMapHint has such a CASCADE
value :-), I'm now considering implement these two methods in the
same ViewDependentShadowMap class as they don't have essential difference,
and the color bleeding problem of VSM may be reduced by creating multiple
cascaded layers.

If you and anybody else have interests and experience, I'd appreciate for
any helps of ideas and possible resource. :-)

Cheers,

Wang Rui
