Hello, I noticed that Ogre has stencil shadows and some sort of texture shadows. But from what I understand, these texture shadows are using some technique other than (depth) shadow maps. Is this correct? And if so, is (native) support for shadow maps planned for some future release?
EDIT: (I haven't put this in the feature requests forum because I only want to know the current status for the moment)
(Depth) Shadow Maps?

Standard texture shadows are projective colour textures because depth shadowmaps are not standardised across cards and APIs. GL has a vendor-independent extension for it, D3D requires shaders (nVidia has a 'magic' non-shader route but it doesn't work on ATI or anything else for that matter) - meaning shaders are the route. The API has everything you need.
