First in shadow volume rendering, maybe? Did anything else make use of this technique at the time?

There were several other games that used volumetric shadows before Doom 3, AFAIK Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind are two. Even id's own Quake 3 (enabled by a console command) used it though it was a bit buggy.
