OK, here's how it looks now with proper stencil buffer and controllable transparency, it can be set to point into any direction, like day/light and stuff like that:

This is all made with a bit older Delphi 4 using OpenGL for graphics, but the project compiles in lazarus / freepascal for win32, which means i'l be able to easily port it to linux if there is going to be demand for it :)

Very awesome.

Would it be possible to implement that so that vehicles like trucks have larger shadows?

Are those little flashing icons on bottom some sort of damage model? Looks like a really cool idea!

I heard there's a Top Down City billboard in GTA3. I never noticed it where is it?
Also, are you aiming to make TDC into a full game or is it more a proof of concept thing.

Yeah, there are ads for it in gta3 and gta-vc as well. and TDC is a game and is not just some concept thing.

It's a 3D model with proper shiny lightning, if all goes well, you won't have to make 2D sprites anymore.

Get some anti aliasing in there, or some how get those lines on the car smoothed out and you'll have something very very nice there :) (not that isn't already great work)
