I have a simple scene, only has a floor and a wall. I would like to add some tree, leave looking shadow so that it's kind of like under the trees.

I'm thinking of adding shadow map onto my light. How do i do that?

Use the sib_slide_proj_light shader.
Apply it to your light in the render tree.
You can get the shader here:

C:\Softimage\XSI\Data\DSPresets\Shaders\Light

Connect the sib_slide_proj_light node to the Light Shader input on your Light node.

Now, double click the sib_slide_proj_light node to open the property ediitor. To change the texture, click New and select a texture. It does not matter what type of texture you use.
