Very Computer

I had GL code working before on a 5.2 Indy. I have just
ported the code to OpenGL without a problem, except for diffuse
and specular lighting. The symptom is that it appears diffuse and
specular lighting is disabled - the object lighting is completely
determined by the ambient light.

I have checked everthing I can think of (BTW, I am running in index
colormap mode because I use only gray scale colors):

Quote:> lighting modes and sources are enabled
> material and lighting properties are set - like in the "light"

Quote:> the normal vector calculations seem fine

   (some relevant code excerpts are included below)  

        Thanks for your time,

SETUP LIGHTING:
  GLfloat material[] = {1.0, 255.0, 1.0};
  GLfloat lightPosition[] = { 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };
  GLfloat mat_shininess[] = { 10.0 };

  glMaterialfv
    (GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_COLOR_INDEXES, material);

  glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT, GL_SHININESS, mat_shininess);

  glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, lightPosition);

  glEnable(GL_LIGHTING);
  glEnable(GL_LIGHT0);

DRAWING:
        (for each facet)
    glBegin(GL_POLYGON); /*GL: bgnpolygon(); */
    for (l=0; l<facet.n; l++)
    {
      glNormal3fv(n); /*GL: n3f(n); */

      /*GL: v3f(vertex.coord)*/
      glVertex3fv( (GLfloat *) vertex[l].coord);
    }
    glEnd(); /*GL: endpolygon(); */

is GL_NORMALIZE enabled?
