I just want to clarify... I'm using Linux, and that seems to be where the issue really is.
On a windows box, shadows work with the above mentioned requirements, it is quite easy actually. So the question is now, what do I need to do to make it work on linux? Which I assume is not a straight forward answer. Or is there a way to write it in with glsl programs? With the above link, I got some kind of result. open gl wants to add shadow in somehow, but it is a glitched pattern of shadow over the whole scene. probably due to the fact that it doesnt have a unified texture to deal with and doesn't know how to handle the data. Any direction on this would be appreciated. Thanks jimmy On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 6:37 PM, jimmy gass <[email protected]> wrote: > Im just playing around with the ogl shaders in soft.
