No, it's hardware. The software renderer won't support it.

The per pixel depth query would be too costly. Of course it's possible to do it in software too, but it's just too expensive to be useful, so i won't waste my time on it.

Did i?... ;)

Edit: But this IS more expensive for sure. It's an expensive operation plus you have to render the scene multiple times.

I look forward to messing around with this:)

I am considering making a "cutscene" api for jpct.

What I mean is, an api that wraps around a few other things, including the skeletal api,
which will allow a "scene file" to be read, allowing the programmer to make on-the-fly actor models,
conversation boxes(speech bubbles or convo box on bottom), and time animation sequences.

In addition, I have a pretty document from Microsoft Speech API, which shows the standard mouth positions.
It could be possible to assign texture frames to a model for textureeffect, allowing mouth movement while talking:).

It wouldnt be perfect, but heck, if you have seen Deus Ex's intro cutscene, you will see just how cool it is!
The possibilities are endless. I plan to do it in a few weeks.

so, you say there arent and cant be any software based shadow implementations which can render at a reasonable time

or ?
