thank you

I did this with DB ages ago, you simply set up a light to face an object at all times (ie, repositon it per loop), adjust the distance so its projection elipse matchs the rough shape of the object and make it negative.

I could give you my DB source code for the game i made if you want, it works, i think.
Problem is its part of a game, and since i switched to DBP i cant compile it
(too many errors and glitchs when you use DBP..).

well, i know your code, thats what i was looking for exactly because i didnt understand anything with how you set the coordinates of light:p

meanwhile, i also use dbp,so if you think it wont do any good to me, nevermind and please show me another way to make almost realtime shadows please.
thank you
