Hrm, this is a question for the S2 guys. I'm just curious here. I see you're using SpeedTree. I also noticed that you have such great-looking shadows for the alpha-textured vegetation (tree leaves). The nature of the fixed-perspective leaves is making it hard for us to create shadows. Are those precomputed shadow maps, or are you generating them in realtime? If so, what shadow technique are you using? This would really help solve a design challenge we've been facing in our development. If it's a trade secret though, that's cool, I can understand your desire to protect it.
