Remarks

This class defines the desired shadow map format. During rendering it stores a reference to the ShadowMap and ShadowMask.

Cloning:
Shadows are cloneable. Clone creates a deep copy of the current shadow - unless documented otherwise (see derived classes). The shadow settings, like Prefer16Bit, PreferredSize, etc. are duplicated - but the actual shadow maps or shadow masks are not copied, since these resources cannot be shared between different shadow casting light nodes and they are usually updated in each frame anyways.
