Making shadows

[Berntsen]

I am programming with OpenGL and Open Inventor, and I have found out that there is no support for making shadows from one object onto another.

Is there a library or another way to achieve this?

Thank you.

The glut package comes with at least one demo of casting shadows onto a plane. Follow this link ( At Nate Robins Homepage) for a zipped package:

I have not learned OpenGL enough or researched into applying shadows on other objects yet.
