This demo shows a particle system creating a smoke effect. This smoke is lit by a partly shadowed spotlight with the smoke aswell as the ground being clearly shadowed accordingly. The shadow from the smoke is also projected to the ground (which is bumpmapped btw). One of my best demos IMHO.

It should run on Radeon 8500, Parhelia and GF3/4.
Source is included as usual.
