Self-Shadows Self-shadows are so termed, because they are shadowing effects caused when an object casts a shadow onto another part of itself. For example, a prong sticking out of a box, catches the light and casts a shadow of the prong over the box. However, both are still the same model in model space.

You are travelling through a forest, dappled sunlight streaming through the branches above, casting shadows on the ground. Leaves crunch underfoot, and the odour floats up to you. Closing your eyes, you reach out to pluck a flower - and feel nothing. Opening your eyes, you see your hand is in the middle of the plant you tried to pluck. Carefully, focussing with your eyes, by trial and error, you grasp and break off the flower, not feeling anything between your fingers. Suddenly, you realise you cannot even feel your fingers, you have not been feeling them, and you run a hand over your body, no sensation; you have to look to see you are touching skin.
