Hello Dgu,  
  
  
  
We do not currently have plans to implement GL\_EXT\_shadow\_samplers.  
  
  
  
This feature is now available as part of core OpenGL ES 3.X.  
  
  
  
It is also possible to mimic the functionality of GL\_EXT\_shadow\_samplers using OpenGL ES 2.0.  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
Paul

Sorry Dgu, I misinterpreted the question.  
  
  
  
With regards to BRN46455 there are no immediate plans to support this on PVRShaman.  
  
  
  
Thanks,
