    @remarks
        Note that for casters comprised of more than one set of vertex buffers (e.g. SubMeshes each
        using their own geometry), it will take more than one ShadowRenderable to render the 
        shadow volume. Therefore for shadow caster geometry, it is best to stick to one set of
        vertex buffers (not necessarily one buffer, but the positions for the entire geometry 
        should come from one buffer if possible)

            If possible, the light cap (when required) should be contained in the

            separate light cap with a depth function of 'always fail' can be used 
            instead. The primary example of this is when there are floating point
            inaccuracies caused by calculating the shadow geometry separately from
            the real geometry.

            Unfortunately, because D3D cannot handle homogeneous (4D) position
            coordinates in the fixed-function pipeline (GL can, but we have to
            be cross-API), when we extrude in software we cannot extrude to 
            infinity the way we do in the vertex program (by setting w to
            0.0f). Therefore we extrude by a fixed distance, which may cause 
            some problems with larger scenes. Luckily better hardware (ie
            vertex programs) can fix this.
