If you're referring to a "shadow", Java3D doesn't do that. It involves ray tracing which isn't even contained in OpenGL(at least I think not). You can do it on your own if you use immediate-mode rendering but it's a very lengthy calculation. If you're referring to shading from directional lighting then you need to setLightingEnable(true) in the Material object in the Appearance for that shape. Jeffrey A.

So what i'm doing wrong? Does the shade to be created by me or is there any capability to set i forgot - or do i have to do it my own ? thanx joni) ===================================================================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Java 3D Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/ ===================================================================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Java 3D Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
