here's a forgoten feature request

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/here's a forgoten feature request

Just for the sheer heck of trying again:
Forget dx9 and OGL support, and all that shader stuff. How about, for a new feature in bb3d, we get the much loved thing that seems to be in every other game engine except blitz: Stencil shadows.
Maybe nice lighting would be a nice enable-able feature too, but that's just me being too lazy to do it myself.



PS: I may be being daft about some magical reason why we don't have it, but the fact that irrlicht for instance, has had it since v. 0.2 gave me a sudden urge to have stencil buffer shadows...

How about instead of shadows we just get access to the depth and stencil buffers (assuming Direct3D has them?)?

now that would be handy.
