[osg-users] Shadow projected on the opposite side too

Hi Pierre-Jean.

This might have to do with wrong culling mode or geometry for the 
shadowmap-generation. The culling mode should be front-face and your 
geometry should be correct (e.g. if you do front-face culling you should 
have some "inner" sides to contribute to depth.
Can you tell us what GPU you are on, and what geometry is showing this 
problem?

Cheers
Sebastian
