If you have Quake 3 Arena, you can see what stencil buffer shadows can do (with the right
settings enabled). An item, for example, which casts a shadow and is close to a wall will
cast a shadow on the floor which in turn bends against the wall. Fire a rocket near it and
watch the position of the shadow change. Better yet, go to NVIDIA's developer section. There
are a few demos on stencil buffered shadows.
