Whatever happened to the promised shadow-mapping in scanline mode? I was counting on this feature to come along, as I can't afford the extra ram required for ray-tracing. Is there some technique already present that will get the same result (like a separate pass for shadows)? I really think this is an important feature that would save rendering time, and I hope you haven't forgotten about it.

>> I can't afford the extra ram required for ray-tracing. Harry, Ray Tracing requires LESS memory than does Scanline rendering. Although very usefull and something that I also want, shadows in Scanline would even require MORE memory. -GreG
