Sorry to post an obvious question but what exactly is the difference between this and the existing terrain and BSP shadow systems?
Author
Old shadows: software rendered, soft edges, only shadows on terrain, works on all cards including voodoo1
New shadows: hardware rendered using stencil buffer, hard edges, shadows on terrain, other objects, and self shadowing, only works on newer cards with stencil buffer.
You can mix both techniques in a single level. To switch between them you simply toggle a checkbox in the object properties within Landscape Studio.

1. will existing terrains be compatible with 4.01 ?
2. will PR degrade properly if stencil is used on older cards ?
Author
No, since stencil shadows are based on polygon edges. You''ll have to model hair like that using polygons rather than a texture trick.
