Light travels through walls, its screwy looking. How about giving us shadows? Thats something that should have came with light enabling. Thanks!

i suggest you document yourself about the lighting systems used in 3D, what we have basically is a lighting system that use a fairly basic model and that wrk better than the older local lights we had wich where putting the client to a crawl.
there is nothing like shadows in sl, they need fairly more complex light models , like shadow volumes or raycasting.

Would be a lovely option for snapshots where frame-rate doesn't matter, would be an awful option for everything else. Do they not have shadows generated by the shader system, I never really heard more about that, and never really followed it to be honest since it's not available for the Mac client and probably never, that's what "coming shortly after" or "coming soon" amounts to these days
