Hi... I'm troubling with this prob. but I cannot figure it out.. I can see the shading for small object but cannot for big one. I can tell the faces of Big boxes. These are my codes for materials and lightings changing paremeter does not work for me. Please please help me ------------------------------------------------------------------ void TMainForm::GLInit(void) { int pf; hDC = GetDeviceContext( this ); memset(&pfd, 0, sizeof(pfd)); pfd.nSize = sizeof(pfd);

You need to describe the problem you're having a little better than that.
Because we do not understand what you're asking for.
Speak more clearly, screenshots perhaps if you aren't good with words?



My best Guess, since you said something about boxes of different size and shading. Is that you're running into the problem of Not Enough Vertices on big faces to get shading details.

OpenGL lighting is vertex based, more vertices = more detail.

thank you very much for your answer...

I added screen shot..check it up and tell me more advices plz

hmmm. you didn't calculate the normals by urself .
try glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE);
if didn't work then you need to do calaulation part by urself.
take care.

The actual problem is hidden behind this invocation
currentModel.DrawModel( )
or perhaps the model loading/creation code. Without knowing that code it is difficult to say what happens. However, since there are small boxes that look correct, the problem may be already the model creation.

you need to define the normals for the large objects,
eg
glNormal3f
for each face.

Thanks Guys~

glNormal was the problem...
