It looks like the lighted objects do not cast any shadows. Is this the case? If so, what is a simple way for an object to cast a shadow on a plane? Creating objects with projected vertexes? Excuse me for being to new to this.
According to this post:
http://www.java-gaming.org/cgi-bin/JGNetForums/YaBB.cgi?board=xith3d;action=display;num=1067774416
shaddows used to work in the Ase loader test showing a tank. I ran the test today and there are no shadows casted. Are they broken?
Well I fixed them at a certain point while actively producing demos for Xith3D, but then I went the C++ road and built a Java3D/Xith3D clone which supports robust shadow volumes.
I might go back and dig some of the old code, clean it up a bit and submit it, but that would have to wait until I come back from SIGGRAPH LA ;D

Love y’all
very nice screen shot! If you have made any fixes, we would love to see them.
Enjoy SIGGRAPH
Will.

Will he know where to find you? 
Endolf
hope u had a top time JCD… bump shadows 8)
;D bump!
Any news in shadow casting?
JCD, have you written it in java yet?
I must apologize for the lack of news regarding the matter as I’m overwhelmed by other projects as well as school that’s starting wicked soon :’(
Here’s a bit about what I’ve written in c++ (in Java fashion), I might just kick myself to do it in Java sometime soon
Dang!!! Dude your still here…way cool ;D.
Hope the job is going well…glad to see ya post once in awhile.

Sensable…
/me remembers the Phantom at siggraph '99 and remembers the little girl that i would have ejected to roof, only to be able to play with it all day long instead of only seeing her doing so…
Argh. can’t find the price of a PhantomDesktop… 
+2 shadows ;D

heh. no prices there either. I don’t want to contact anyone, and don’t want to enter any mailing lists, don’t want my email to be registered there, and don’t want to be contacted eventually later by them or anyone that might get my email from them.
I just want to get an idea of the price of that wonderful thing.
I don’t understand why SensAble hides its prices… Bah.
simple- phone um, ask for the price, hang up 
bwaahahahahahahahahah…
;D ;D ;D
