Do you mean one which can cast shadows from animated 3D models, or one which can cast shadows onto animated 3d models?

Cause my system does the first one. (For boned B3D at least.) And the second one is nigh impossible in Blitz.

I think the top handle of an animated mesh is a pivot, so you should parse the entity recursively and add all child entities to the shadow caster list IF they are meshes, like in this example:

@xmlspy - I remember a while ago that I was testing out swifts shadow system and I used the dward model also. It worked fine for me.
