[x3d-public] COBWEB IMPLEMENTS DYNAMIC SHADOWS

[Holger Seelig]

*** COBWEB IMPLEMENTS DYNAMIC SHADOWS ***

With its new and up to date version 1.28, Cobweb implements dynamic 
shadows now.

THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE!

For a live demonstration have a look at:
http://titania.create3000.de/cobweb/dynamic-shadows/

Cobweb adds four important fields to every light node.

X3DLightNode : X3DChildNode {
  ...
  SFColor [in,out] shadowColor      0 0 0  [0,1]
  SFFloat [in,out] shadowIntensity  0      [0,1]
  SFFloat [in,out] shadowDiffusion  0      [0,inf)
  SFInt32 []       shadowMapSize    1024   (-inf,inf)
}

All light sources contain an shadowIntensity, a shadowColor, a 
shadowDiffusion, and a shadowMapSize field.  The shadowIntensity field 
specifies the darkness of the shadow.  Shadow intensity may range from 
0.0 (no shadow) to 1.0 (full intensity).  The shadowColor field 
specifies the spectral colour properties of the shadow as an RGB value. 
The shadowDiffusion field specifies an blur over the shadow.  Shadow 
diffusion may range from 0.0 length units (no blur) to infinity.  For 
every light there must be rendered an image of the shadow, the shadow 
map.  The shadowMapSize field specifies the size of this image in pixels.
