how do I correct the issue where an object passes behind another object but is still illuminated by light? one example is a planet and moon illuminated by a sun with the moon passing behind the planet? I tried checking forums but maybe i'm searching the wrong questions, my DBPRO book doesn't explain the topic.

thanks

No, it's a shadowing problem. DBPro objects do not cast shadows by default - and it's quite hard to get them working correctly. There are various demos around.

You could have a look at the set shadow shading on command. Spooky posted a demo a few years back. I'll see if I can find it and post back.

Edit: Can't find Spooky's old demo - but here's another one. The code is in pcRaider's post:
