// The scene consists of:
// 1) four actors: a rectangle, a box, a cone and a sphere.
// The box, the cone and the sphere are above the rectangle.
// 2) Two spotlights, one in the direction of the box, another one in the
// direction of the sphere.
// Both lights are above the box, the cone and the sphere.

Download and Build ShadowsLightsDemo¶
Click here to download ShadowsLightsDemo and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ShadowsLightsDemo.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd ShadowsLightsDemo/build
If VTK is installed:
cmake ..
If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:
cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..
Build the project:
make
and run it:
./ShadowsLightsDemo
WINDOWS USERS
Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
