\"\"<\/p>\n

Converted part of this code into Unity(js) : A Simple Algorithm For Casting Shadows<\/a><\/p>\n

Screenshot info:<\/strong>
\n– Red lines = from camera to vertex
\n– Green lines = from vertex to ground
\n– Blue lines = shadow plane vertices (no plane on this version yet, could use Triangulator.cs for it)<\/p>\n

Current status:<\/strong>
\n– Tried to implement some convex hull generation for the shadow plane points..but it doesnt work yet..
\n– See the new version: http:\/\/unitycoder.com\/blog\/2012\/03\/27\/shadow-casting-convex-hull-more-fake-shadows\/<\/a><\/p>\n
