It's also a bit out-of-date too though :-)

Then see what approaches might provide the best visual quality/perfornance for your datasets.   Most modern applications will also be writing your own shaders, so shadows is something would fit within this well.   It does require more knowledge but the results have the potential for being better.

Thank you, Robert. I stared to use osg since the middle of June without graphics develop experience. Your suggestions are precious to me. 

I started to read the book Real-time Shadow and LearnOpenGL tutorial last week and read so slowly. I am developing application for architecture. I knew little about modern hardware and so on. I would appreciated it if give further advice.
