Utility to view detail shadow maps

[andrewMcP]

Hey
Does anybody know of a way for me to view my detail shadow maps or convert them into something I can look at.
thanks a lot for the help

Hello Andrew.Hm,can i ask you why do you need it?:).I mean,maybe i don't get it but the only discrepancy between "standard" shadows and detailed shadow maps is that latter ones store alpha values (allowing it to compute transparent shadows) aslong with color values.The file containing shadow maps is merely a "library" of maps written there throught the rendering (for each frame).And because only certain areas are calculated in each frame,it makes it incapable of reiterating it as a shadow map.:)
