Hi all,
we just posted a new white paper on a new soft shadow technique for real time 3D scenes developed for Esperient Creator. Unlike traditional shadow volume techniques which support simple colored hard shadows that are constant per object, this new method employs advanced shader technology to support colored translucent soft shadows with falloff.
The paper can be downloaded from here:

and a video showing the technique and real time reflection/refraction and some other fun effects can be found here:

I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about the techniques and Esperient Creator. Hope you like it.
