The <a href="http://developer.nvidia.com/object/Stencil_Buffer_Tutorial.html">stencil buffer tutorial</a> is recommended background reading (but try to focus on principles, and not on details/code, and don't worry if you don't understand it completely. Browse, don't memorize, the 50 pages). It also covers fake shadows in section 4 and 5 and contains little info on soft shadows in section 6.4.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Graphics20072008/~4/jwmti1pITdQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Graphics20072008/~4/1S0H5DLLYDk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
