Hi;

I recently have seen a few SL videos which showed examples of really good shadow effects.

I eagerly would like to take a closer look on this development for obvious reasons ;-)
Anybody can give me some pointers, where i can find this test client ?
Is there a download available somewhere (for windows)?
Or a good description of how to compile it from the sources (where are the sources... ?) ...

Any hint is very much appreciated ;-)
thanks a lot;

regards, hussayn

I know of this 3rd party viewer.

There is a link in that article to her FTP site.

You do need an nvidia 8800 or better and turn on that render pipeline in the debug menu.
