Hello, I just rewrote my current object construction programs to output in the SGO format (actually a filter from my format to SGO). The objects I generate are triangle lists with normals at each vertex and a color at each vertex. When I load the objects into Showcase they look fine but they are not in color. Instead they are all the same base shade of gray with shading. They print just fine (lp->Mac running A/UX->localtalk printer) but again no color. Is this a bug? Am I specifing the colors wrong? Also, on a related topic, I don't see any difference between FLAT, SHADED, and LIGHTED renditions of the objects. If this is normal, fine, but the manual seems to imply that this should work...
