+/*
+	This example implements projective cascaded shadow mapping. This technique splits up the camera frustum into
+	multiple frustums with each getting it's own full-res shadow map, implemented as a layered depth-only image.
+	The shader then selects the proper shadow map layer depending on what split of the frustum the depth value
+	to compare fits into.
+
+	This results in a better shadow map resolution distribution that can be tweaked even further by increasing
+	the number of frustum splits.
+
+	A further optimization could be done using a geometry shader to do a single-pass render for the depth map
+	cascades instead of multiple passes (geometry shaders are not supported on all target devices).
