I was experimenting with Andy's shadow caster class and testing my animation controls here:
 
 
As you can see the shadow plane is visible despite my best efforts to hide it.  How can I hide the shadow plane without making it gigantic while keeping the shadow?

OK, posted it again above.  I also took the chance to smooth out and add animations.

Yes, I'll keep it live.  Thanks for the nice comment.  Now I'm motivated to work out the kinks!

I'll start with trying to figure out how to embed the DAE easily in CS3 so people don't get timeouts...tomorrow...yawn

Hey Nathaniel - its looking cool :)

What is the plane material you are drawing on?  It looks like there might be a problem with the transparency, etc.  Can you post your material info?

Also - i see you are using backface culling - it makes the shadows look weird sometimes as i realize now i made a pretty dumb mistake.  I have a fix but haven't tried it yet (just a few lines of replacement code).  Basically i'm culling against the plane right now - instead of against the light - so there are some issues.  Try turning it off and the model will appear more exact.

Anyways - if you can post some code for your material we can probably figure it out.  (does the plane itself have any blendMode?)

Sure thing.  I probably should have posted the relevant code initially.  I'll do that later tonight.

I actually managed to figure out the shadow problem, Andy.  I'm kind of embarrassed to share what I was doing wrong because it was a silly mistake but I'll paste the working code below in case someone else wants to do something similar.  It's pretty much an exact copy of your demo with a few minor changes.  Thanks for your help, Andy...something you mentioned in your reply led me to the solution.

I turned off back face culling at your suggestion and it did help those issues you mentioned.

Yes, the plane did (past tense) have its own blend mode.  I removed it when I figured out the proper solution though.

The still incomplete experiment/test has been updated and you can see it at the same location here.

-Nate

Code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//setup shadow and light
    shadowCaster = new ShadowCaster("shadow1", 0, BlendMode.NORMAL, .7, [new BlurFilter(4, 4, 2)]);
    shadowCaster.setType(ShadowCaster.SPOTLIGHT);
   
    var movie:Sprite = new Sprite();
    movie.graphics.beginFill(0xffffff, 0);
    movie.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 900, 900);
    movie.graphics.endFill();
   
    var shadowMat = new MovieMaterial(movie, true, true);
    shadowMat.doubleSided = true;
   
    shadowPlane = new Plane(shadowMat, 900, 900, 1, 1);
    shadowPlane.pitch( 90);
    viewport.getChildLayer(shadowPlane).layerIndex = -100;
   
    scene.addChild(shadowPlane);
   
    light = new PointLight3D();
