Yay..more realtime fake shadows, using similar technique like this old fake vertex shadows test<\/a><\/p>\n

Features:<\/strong>
\n– VertexLit shader with texture
\n– Linecast each vertex towards light, if we can reach light, then lets shine, otherwise stay dark..
\n– In the webplayer, 15 vertices are scanned per update loop, per wall object.. (it works with just 1 scan per loop also, just slower to update if objects are moving..)
\n– small exp2 fog added, to give some depth to the room..<\/p>\n

Ideas:<\/strong>
\n– bounced lights? multiple lights? colored lights\/shadows?
\n– smoother shadows, take average color from neighbour vertices?
\n– instead of scanning from each vertex, scan from middle of each triangle?
\n– optimize, if nothing has moved, dont scan..?
\n– semi-transparent\/colored windows?
\n– use highres box\/walls?<\/p>\n
