 GVU: Casting Fast Shadows for a 3D Cursor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Unfortunately, except in special cases such as casting a shadow on a simple planar surface, computing and rendering cast shadows is normally too time intensive for use in interaction.
This technique works only for a special case -- casting a shadow from a single convex polygonal object using one light source -- however, this case is useful for interaction since it can provide shadows for a 3D cursor, or a single object being manipulated.
A pixel represents a surface within the shadow volume if it has a depth value between the depth of the front facing polygon and the back facing polygon found along the ray representing the line of sight through that pixel.
