I am trying to render 6 spotlights shadow for point light and additive blend each side ( light contribution and shadows).
So i thought to render one "big" cube (big as my room that i have place light in) as light volume geometry and clip it with clip planes to get correct result instead to re-add 6 times to same "spot". But something is wrong with my code:

Clip planes functions

D3DXPLANE oldPlanes[6];

void enableClipPlanes(const D3DXMATRIX& view, const D3DXMATRIX& proj)
{
    for(std::size_t i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
    {
        d3d9device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CLIPPLANEENABLE, 1 << i);
        d3d9device->GetClipPlane(i, oldPlanes[i]);
    }

    D3DXMATRIX viewProjection;
    D3DXMatrixMultiply( &viewProjection, &view, &proj );

    D3DXPLANE planes[6];
    planes[0].a = viewProjection._14 + viewProjection._11;
    planes[0].b = viewProjection._24 + viewProjection._21;
    planes[0].c = viewProjection._34 + viewProjection._31;
    planes[0].d = viewProjection._44 + viewProjection._41;

    // Right plane
    planes[1].a = viewProjection._14 - viewProjection._11;
    planes[1].b = viewProjection._24 - viewProjection._21;
    planes[1].c = viewProjection._34 - viewProjection._31;
    planes[1].d = viewProjection._44 - viewProjection._41;

    // Top plane
    planes[2].a = viewProjection._14 - viewProjection._12;
    planes[2].b = viewProjection._24 - viewProjection._22;
    planes[2].c = viewProjection._34 - viewProjection._32;
    planes[2].d = viewProjection._44 - viewProjection._42;

    // Bottom plane
    planes[3].a = viewProjection._14 + viewProjection._12;
    planes[3].b = viewProjection._24 + viewProjection._22;
    planes[3].c = viewProjection._34 + viewProjection._32;
    planes[3].d = viewProjection._44 + viewProjection._42;

    // Near plane
    planes[4].a = viewProjection._13;
    planes[4].b = viewProjection._23;
    planes[4].c = viewProjection._33;
    planes[4].d = viewProjection._43;

    // Far plane
    planes[5].a = viewProjection._14 - viewProjection._13;
    planes[5].b = viewProjection._24 - viewProjection._23;
    planes[5].c = viewProjection._34 - viewProjection._33;
    planes[5].d = viewProjection._44 - viewProjection._43;

    for(int i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
    {
        D3DXPlaneNormalize( &planes[i], &planes[i] );
        D3DXPLANE worldSpacePlane, clipSpacePlane;
        worldSpacePlane = -planes[i];// invert plane normal ??? SUSPICIOUS
        D3DXPlaneNormalize(&worldSpacePlane, &worldSpacePlane);
        D3DXMATRIX viewProjIT = view * proj;
        D3DXMatrixInverse(&viewProjIT, NULL, &viewProjIT);
        D3DXMatrixTranspose(&viewProjIT, &viewProjIT);
        D3DXPlaneTransform(&clipSpacePlane, &worldSpacePlane, &viewProjIT);
        d3d9device->SetClipPlane(i, clipSpacePlane);
    }
}

// restore old clip planes
void disableClipPlanes()
{
    for(std::size_t i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
    {
        d3d9device->SetClipPlane(i, oldPlanes[i]);
    }
}

and then i render lights/shadows

for(...)
{
	 ....
	 renderDepth();
	 ...
	 setRenderTarget( lightAccumRT );
    ...
    enableClipPlanes(lightView, lightProj);

    effect->SetTechnique(...);
    effect->Begin(...);
    ...
    drawBox();
    ...
    effect->End();

    disableClipPlanes();
}

draw box with this states:

ALPHABLENDENABLE = TRUE;
        SRCBLEND		 = ONE;
        DESTBLEND	    = ONE;

        STENCILENABLE    = FALSE;
        COLORWRITEENABLE = 0x0000000F;
        ZFUNC		    = GREATEREQUAL;
        CULLMODE		 = CW;
        ZWRITEENABLE	 = FALSE;

Now all i get is black? Any idea?

If you need more info please tell.

Thanks for your time.
