Lighting problem
Author
Hi I encountered a problem with lights.
I am not sure why it behaves this way.
I get the sphere lit correctly.
but I don't get the cube lit correctly.
I thought the cube supposed to be lit by the spotlight created too.
But it didn't.
Any idea why?
Could you elaborate a bit on what is wrong with the rendering? What is wrong with tne lighting of the cube?

I have 4 spheres on top of a cube.

O X O

---O---
O = sphere
X = spotlight from (0, 20, 0) in direction (0, -1, 0)
With the spotlight cut off is 10, I can see each of the spheres has half of its face lit.
But the cube is just black.

Yes, and bare in mind that what you're seeing is probably correct, but that you are mistaking per-vertex lighting with per-pixel lighting. On a regular, non-tesselated cube, per-vertex lighting will look "off" (especially specular highlights). One option is to tesselate each face of the cube into smaller elements. Also, depending on your setup, vertices shouldn't be shared by adjacent faces, because of conflicting normals.
EDIT: although it shouldn't be completely black I guess. I'm not sure about this, but do GLUT primitives generate normals?

Check the FAQ. Basically you get some webspace to host your image then insert a link here.
Here it is said that glut primitives provide vertex positions and normals, so that shouldn't be the problem. However, enable GL_NORMALIZE to make sure the normals are normalized ([looksaround]) before rendering (not sure if glutXXX does this already, might be so but I didn't find a clue).

I tried with GL_NORMALIZE, however, it doesn't work.
I wanted to model some kind of table.
I wonder if texturing will solve the problem?

Texturing wouldn't solve lighting problems just make the cube look different. Post a screenshot, please.
Quote:Original post by juxieIs the spotlight cutoff large enough to include the vertices of the cube? As Todo said, OpenGL lighting is per-vertex so if no vertices receive light, the cube doesn't receive light.
