            Casting intentional shadows is kinda tough. How did they make those 
            zigzag shadows in front of the 1st floor prison cells in cragscleft?

            You want to use a lot of lights inset into recesses, and shape the 
            shadows via the outlines of the recesses and position of the lights 
            inside. It's a lot harder to make cool shadows if the lights are all 
            set out from the wall. Lots of trial and error, if you're not good 
            at visualizing 3d with your eyes closed; something that may be 
            useful for that is to make an area brush around the section you're 
            trying to play with, and only portalize and light that (much 
faster!)
