- I currently have LightWave 3.5. I have mailed this to Allen Hastings, but
- he is (understandably) too busy to look at it. Basically, the problem
- arises when shadow mapping or tracing a shadow on an irregular surface.
- Part of the problem has to do with the fact that neither shadow maps or
- traced shadows know about Phong shaded surfaces and so cast their shadows
- based on poly edges, but there is more.

- I have a file for anonymous ftp at my site xmission.xmission.com, in
- pub/users/dingebre an lha archive that includes a letter, objects, scenes,
- and jpeg'd images that demonstrate the problem. If you don't have
- anonymous ftp, I can perhaps uuencode the file and mail it to you.

- I started reporting this in about September of 1993 and would love any
- comments. It is most annoying.
