simple shadows

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/simple shadows

i want to create simple shadows(just circuler blobs) for my characters

i created a 1024x1024 texture to blend with my terrain then drew a black 6x6 oval on it and the players co-ords but this slows the program down visably

ive seen all the shadow code in the code archives but it all deals with dynamic shadows

any ideas on how to create a simple blob shadow that works fast
