   Projective Shadow Problems....
  Ok, so i''m trying to get projective shadows working, but it seems I allways have some problems with it. My axis are set like: X grows to your right, Y grows to the sky, Z grows away from you.My current problem is that the shadow seems to follow the light, as you can see in these screenshots:You can see that the shadow (or simply the projected crate) is following the light instead of projecting away...My Plane settings are X=0, Y=1, Z=0, W=1If more info is required i''ll promptly post it...Im so lost...!

  anyone? ;  speaking personaly i cant really see whats going on from that animation, stills might be better...  ;  Ok, heres another pic:I painted the shadow black, cause the engine doesnt do that for itself yet.As you can see, the shadow grows towards the light, instead of geting projected in the opposite direction...

I guess I don''t know exactly what ''projective shadow'' means, because stencil shadow volumes are projected outwards too ;  shadow: I think i messed up the push/pop matrix calls in my first atempts, and that messed up the final position/ orientation of the shadow.This shadow is the projection of the object onto a plane, the images show the object projected.Usually a few more steps are involved, in which the shadow is drawn black and blended with the floor, and stenciled with the stencil buffer, the stencil itself being the floor again...This method of shadowing therefore isnt shadow volumes...
