Q2Model, Part 10
Shadows
My plan to add shadows to Q2Model was to implement a depth map, but my shadows were only going to be computed from the view point of my Sunlight.
Just adding the depth map caused everything to get very dark.
This is the perspective of the light that will be casting shadows, it's above and behind the model.
The first evidence I had that shadows were working, but nothing really identifiable. It moved as the model moved though, so that was exciting.
I also had an interesting wall shadow:
I never did figure out where that notch came from, but a couple of changes later I had working shadows:
And because I still had a collection of random Quake 2 models lying around: 
It was around this part that I started to see how daunting my plans/project were, if I was going to create all of this from scratch. I did spend some time re-working the lights and shadows to get to this point:
But I was still only capable of creating shadows from the perspective of the "Sun".
However in doing so I had to remove the text I had that displayed the animation/skin.
That's as far as I got with this. It was at this point I decided that writing a 3D game engine, and also the renderer was going to be too big to tackle. It did however accomplish the goal of making me learn how things worked from the ground up.
