[Bf-committers] Shadow colors

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

There's a real logical reason why it's not there yet. There doesn't  
exist something like "shadow" in Blender, the only thing we render  
right now is "light" which is being filtered or colored or modulated  
based on spot bundles, angle of incidence, texture, shadowbuffer,  
raytracer, AO, etc.

The definition of "No Light" means "Do Nothing" now... quite logical.  
If you want to have shadows to appear in a color, filling that in with  
another lamp (or ambient, or AO, etc) is the obvious method now. That  
way also backfacing parts of geometry get 'shadow color', or parts  
outside of a spotbundle, etc.
