That's an interesting tutorial from the master.

It's worth noting his last post in that thread from April this year, stating that these days he does not use depth-mapped shadows much, only ray-traced. I've seen other recent posts from him to this effect.

With ray-traced shadows, shadow maps are not created, the shadow cams are (presumably) not used at all, and all you have to worry about is that you have shadows set on any lights that would otherwise shine into the figure's nostrils. Is this about right, in simple terms?
