If shadow mapping is enough for you I can give you a class for this =
working
in SSG, so that you simply do

	if ( shadowmap )
		shadow->cullAndDraw ( scene ) ;
	else
		ssgCullAndDraw ( scene ) ;

It sets leaf pre- and post-draw callbacks, uses register combiners on NV =
and
texenv on ATI and others, and P-buffers for larger-than screen depth =
maps
(usually 1024 or 2048 ^2). It is derived from Nvidia code.

Anyone interested in it just e-mail me at P.Leoncini -a-t- cira.it.
