In this brief tutorial, I will explain how to make a shadow map that prevents these black lines/pixels and subsequently will fix the issue @grimcookies discussed about the crunchiness that happens with an incorrectly made shadow map. This is happening because the shadow map is probably a PNG – it must be in DDS file format with a proper alpha layer.
