Shadow
Shadow
is a material shader available in all Source games. It is the shader used by dynamic render-to-texture shadows and requires the Shadow
proxy to function. A variant of this shader, ShadowModel
, is used to cast shadows on models and requires the ShadowModel
proxy instead.
The shadow manager draws from decals/rendershadow.vmt
and decals/rendermodelshadow.vmt
for its shadows.

Example
"Shadow" { // "$basetexture" "Decals/simpleshadow" "$no_fullbright" 1 "$decal" 1 "%noToolTexture" 1 "Proxies" { "Shadow" { } } }
"ShadowModel" { "$decal" 1 "$model" 1 "$no_fullbright" 1 "%noToolTexture" 1 "Proxies" { "ShadowModel" { } } }
