Hi Wyatt, Yes,thats a good picture. What it tells me:
1. Light node has been found and direction seem to be computed correctly. 2. Shadow map seems correct. Only back faces from light perspective are rendered. These are the faces that are casting shadows. This is exactly what Lispsm sets. Since ShadowMap rendering seems correct you most probably have an issue with application of shadow map to final scene. Here is a check list to iterate. 1: Check your texcoords and texstages and verify if there is no conflict of some other texture with shadow map stage/coords. 2: Check your shaders if they compile and use the same shadow map uniforms /shadow coords correctly. Try turning shaders off. Lispsm shadows should work even with fixed pipeline. Usually shadows become almost black but they are visible. 3: If you use vertex shader check materials used for terrain and buildings. Vertex shaders do not work correctly with materials using COLOR_MATERIAL attribute ie some material components are defined through vertex colors. Your material should have COLOR_MATERIAL mode set to off and diffuse/ambient/specular components should be defined in material not in promitive colors. COLOR_MATERIAL mode is notorious for the problems with shadows. Its not supported by shaders. Works with fixed pipeline only. Best solution is to convert (osgconv) your model file into text .osg format and examine states it uses in text editor. If this does not help, consider sending a piece of your code and models.

Hi Wyatt, Buildings getting darker while light is moving can be a normal thing it is simply a result of normal diffuse shading. Can you move camera so close that view frustum contains a single building ?. Ideally make it look at 45 deg from a liitle above. Then make screenshot, with debugHUD. Its really important whats on debug hud display. This will tell me alot. If you have problems with 300 kb OSG forum limit, just send this screenshot directly to my address.

Ok... so I did what you suggested mostly... I took the osgshadow example, add my geometry and it worked. I added another shader on the root node of the scenegraph, because in my app, I do that. I took the shaders from ShadowMap.cpp and put them into vert/frag files and loaded them into their respective shaders. That worked too. In my application, when I load those shaders from ShadowMap.cpp and use them, I see a change in the lighting but it isn't what I expect. Rather than the objects casting shadows on the terrain, it looks like a shdow is being cast over the objects, but it isnt'being cast on the terrain. The best way I can describe it is that it looks like the objects are in the sun then a cloud floats between the sun and the object... I don't think a picture will show what I mean, but here are 3 pictures with the shadow moving progressively to the left over the object... note the white building in the front gets darker. But now shadows on the terrain.
