I tried using glOrtho where there was once a gluPerspective. Kinda neat. But my little spinning octahedron was so far away! So I scaled it up (glScalef(60.0, 60.0, 60.0). But then I lost my lighting. My light''s position is thus: GLfloat LightPosition[]= { 2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f }; glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, LightPosition); so I don''t think the enlarged object engulfed my light. I can still see the object, but instead of nice sharply lit right side and darker left side, it''s all evenly darkened. Can someone give me an idea what''s wrong?

seems like you haven''t rescaled your normals

glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE);

All right
you should rescaled you normals
glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE)

Maybe you can try using glEnable(GL_RESCALE_NORMAL) instead of GL_NORMALIZE. It''s only in 1.2 and up though.

Boy, you people sure know how to answer a guy''s question O_o Thanks; glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE) did it.

I''m sure if you had of used the search functionality of the board, you would have found the answer yourself.
