Hello Cedric,
With this solution an object that cast shadow will get it's own shadow
isn't it , i know in most of the case it's what
you want but i would like to avoid when i can for performance reason.
I would like something like a list a of caster and a list of receiver.
Maybe i could just write a shadowmap
technic that allow that.
The osgShadow::ShadowMap technique has just not been designed to do
that. You have the option of either:
1. Casts and receives : object is under ShadowedScene, and has the
correct nodemasks
2. Does not cast but receives : object is under ShadowedScene, and has
~CastsShadow nodemask
3. Does not cast, does not receive : object is not under ShadowedScene.
Doing anything more would require some changes. You can always subclass
ShadowMap to do it, but as the class stands it's not very useful since
you'll need to copy-paste most of it anyways because it was not really
designed to be subclassed (all the work is done in the cull() method). I
think the upcoming improvements by Wojtek will make this sort of thing
much more doable.
But in any case, I don't really see why you don't want an object to
self-shadow. In a shadow map technique, it does not involve any
additional cost. If the object casts shadows on other objects, then it's
already part of the ShadowMap RTT, and thus, where it casts its shadows
has no effect on performance (at least as far as I know, perhaps I'll
learn something new...).
Hope this helps,
J-S
