If you look at that, the shadows are dithered (or layered i guess), how would shadows appear like that ingame? And what technique is most probably used?

I'm sure Evolved's shadow shaders do a similar effect, certainly a comparable look at least, maybe fuzzy instead of jagged. Check out his website and try the shader downloads:

Look up Evolved on YouTube too, he has tons of nice videos showing his work.

Wow I just checked Evolved's youtube page. Some amazing stuff there like his volumetric clouds (beastly). What I am wondering with shadows is that it might drop too many frames :/

On a slightly unrelated topic, I love going through Crytek's engine presentations. They have some truly remarkable stuff going for them: http://www.crytek.com/technology/presentations/

Just something to gawk at

Hmmm, what other amazing shaders has Evolved made, and where could I get them?

If I was ever given the opportunity to remove all the bad from the world, I wouldn't, because for there to be heroism, compassion and all that is good, there must also be all that is bad.
