The 'Stencil shadow' thread

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/The 'Stencil shadow' thread

Here's a demo of my effort, www.tomspeed.com/ss12.zip

w,s,a,d & mouse to move camera, lmb/rmb shadow alpha value, cursors & kepyad 1,0 moves light

Works with static geometry only at the moment, I'm just now looking for a solution for skinned meshes, but I don't think it's gonna be too fast whatever I end up with :)

If you leave the mouse alone when it boots, my FPS settles at 333 fps. 3ghz 32bit XP cpu, ATI x800 gfx card here.

Had some weird results from other people, like 81fps from an amd 800mhz cpu & radeon 9600 (not bad!) ... but only 24 - 40 fps from a 64bit amd 3500 with a I think an FX 5200 card ?!?!?
