how to change shadow direction?

[shahramy]

i used Shadow module to create shadow but I cant change the direction of shadow in the other hand the point in which the imaginary light source exists. i have used this code.

SHADOW_RES = 2048
#Postion of shadow projector
SHADOW_POS = [-30.800,5.000,50 ]
SHADOW_AREA = [150,150]

#Create shadow projector
shadow = Shadow.ShadowProjector(size=SHADOW_RES,pos=SHADOW_ POS,area=SHADOW_AREA)

#Add avatar as a shadow caster
shadow.addCaster(obj1)
shadow.addCaster(obj2)

#Add ground as shadow receiver
shadow.addReceiver(sh)

with this shadow_pos the shadow will create exact under the two object which have many distance from each other!!!

The following example shows how to set the position and orientation of the shadow projector. It moves in a circle around the avatar and turns so that it is always pointed at the avatar.

import viz
viz.go()

#Add ground model
ground = viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')

#Add avatar
avatar = viz.add('vcc_female.cfg',euler=(180,0,0))
avatar.state(5)

#Shadow resolution (power of two)
#Higher values mean sharper shadows, but take more texture memory
SHADOW_RES = 256

#Postion of shadow projector
SHADOW_POS = [0,0,0]

#Controls size of orthographic shadow projector
#Large values mean larger area is covered, but resolution will be diluted
SHADOW_AREA = [5,5]

#Create shadow projector
import Shadow
shadow = Shadow.ShadowProjector(size=SHADOW_RES,pos=SHADOW_POS,area=SHADOW_AREA)
#Add avatar as a shadow caster
shadow.addCaster(avatar)

#Add ground as shadow receiver
shadow.addReceiver(ground)

import math

SPEED = 0.5
def moveProjector():
    t = viz.tick() * SPEED
     
    # Move projector in a circle
    newX = -math.cos(t) * 2
    newZ = math.sin(t) * 2
    shadow.setPosition([newX, 2, newZ])
    shadow.setEuler([t/math.pi * 180,40,0])

vizact.ontimer(0,moveProjector)	
	
import vizcam
viz.cam.setHandler(vizcam.PivotNavigate(center=[0,1.5,0],distance=7))

thanks man. that is great. vizard is the best
