I cannot get the Shadow Map to work, here is what done so far, any suggestion will be helpful.

Edit: I beleve that the problem is how I clear the IDirect3DDevice9 (Device) before I start the "ShadowedScene" technique.

	Device->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET | D3DCLEAR_ZBUFFER, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0,0,0), 1.0f, 0L);

	lightingFX.fx->SetTechnique("ShadowMap");
	UINT numPassess = 0;
	lightingFX.fx->Begin(&numPassess,0);

	//////////////////////////////////////////////snip////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	for (unsigned int i = 1; i<numMtrls; i++)
		{
			lightingFX.fx->BeginPass(0);
			lightingFX.fx->SetTexture("xTexture", texture[i]);
			lightingFX.fx->SetTexture("xShadowMap", texture[i]);
			lightingFX.fx->CommitChanges();
			mesh->DrawSubset(i);
			lightingFX.fx->EndPass();	
		}
	//////////////////////////////////////////////snip////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


	lightingFX.fx->End();

	Device->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET | D3DCLEAR_ZBUFFER, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0,0,0), 1.0f, 0L);
	Device->BeginScene();
	

	lightingFX.fx->SetTechnique("ShadowedScene");
	UINT numPasses = 0;
	lightingFX.fx->Begin(&numPasses,0);

			lightingFX.fx->CommitChanges();
			mesh->DrawSubset(i);
			lightingFX.fx->EndPass();	
		}

	lightingFX.fx->End();

	Device->EndScene();
	Device->Present(0,0,0,0);

Please use the [code=auto:0] tags when posting source code here, so that you get proper formatting. Also, people will be able to help you better if you're more descriptive about your actual problem. For instance, what is the current result produced by your code? Do you get know shadows at all? Shadows everywhere? Shadows in the wrong place? A screenshot of the problem can be helpful, if applicable.

I don't get shadows at all, in fact it doesn't make any difference if I begin my "ShadowMap" technique or not.
I beleve that the problem is how I clear the IDirect3DDevice9 (Device) before I start the "ShadowedScene" technique.

[michaelmk86]

I still haven't figured out that is wrong.

Any info from debug runtime?
Pix output?

It's hard withoud details!

The hlsl should not be the problem since it is from this tutorial http://www.riemers.n...Real_shadow.php but the tutorial only explain how to use it with XNA and not with C++ & DX9. I am only asking how to properly clear the IDirect3DDevice9 (Device) before and after the "ShadowedScene" technique.
