If you want what is shown into that video, you could scatter points on your object, then add a normal to them in the direction you wish to project them and use the ray sop to project them onto a grid.

This will give you a “shadow” – a shadow is nothing more than a projection. The interesting thing is the projection normal, read up on the ray sop and check out some examples for it.

@pclaes, Thankx alot , you made my day
