Hi Nico,

VirtualPlanetBuilder does nothing to control the lighting of the
databases that it generates, it simply provide textured geometry with
normals generated on them.  It's entirely under your applications
control how the scenes at light.

My best guess is that your are confused about the role of OpenGL
lighting has on the scene.  If you disable OpenGL lighting then OpenGL
will rendering the scene purely using the glColour of the geometry
(which will the deafult of be white for a VPB database) combined using
TexEnv with the texures applied to the tiles.  If you enable OpenGL
lighting then the glLight settings set by the osg::Light will control
how the colour is computed - combining the tile colour with the GL
lighting, then combined with the texture.

For illuminated scenes that you have a night and day element one
usually keeps OpenGL lighting enabled for the whole scene and your
simply change the osg::Light settings to make the scene darker or
lighter, or simply have the light source direction/position pointing
from a position that gives a scene that is in shade i.e. pointing away
from the light source.

Robert.
