    <p>I'm trying to get the lights and reflection correct in my program. I have a big sphere, which I can move the the mouse, that should be a light source (LIGHT0), and smaller spheres bouncing around that should reflect the light. I also need a directional light that I can change the direction using the keyboard</p> <p>first some colors I defined:</p> <pre><code>float whitish[] = {0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f, 1}; float white[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}; float blackish[] = {0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f, 1}; float black[] = {0, 0, 0, 1} </code></pre> <p>I create the directional light with</p> <pre><code>gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT1, GL.GL_AMBIENT, blackish,0); gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT1, GL.GL_SPECULAR, white,0); gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT1, GL.GL_DIFFUSE, white,0); gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT1, GL.GL_POSITION, spot_position,0); </code></pre> <p>spot_position is initially [ 0, 0, 1, 0] but it can change by pressing the keyboard keys. a key press adds 0.05 to a specific component of the position vector, until it reaches 1, then it resets back to -1 (nothing fancy).</p> <p>The light of the center sphere is:</p> <pre><code>gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT0, GL.GL_POSITION, position,0); gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT0, GL.GL_AMBIENT, blackish,0); gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT0, GL.GL_DIFFUSE, white,0); gl.glLightfv(GL.GL_LIGHT0, GL.GL_SPECULAR, white,0); </code></pre> <p>This light's position is always centered inside my big transparent sphere. w component of the position vector is 1.</p> <p>I have this code to draw the picture in the back</p> <pre><code>gl.glBegin(GL_QUADS); gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_DIFFUSE, white,0); gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_SPECULAR, white,0); gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_SHININESS, white,0); // Back Face gl.glNormal3f(0, 0, 1); gl.glTexCoord2f(texRight, texBottom); gl.glVertex3f(rx2, ry1, rz1); gl.glTexCoord2f(texRight, texTop); gl.glVertex3f(rx2, ry2, rz1); gl.glTexCoord2f(texLeft, texTop); gl.glVertex3f(rx1, ry2, rz1); gl.glTexCoord2f(texLeft, texBottom); gl.glVertex3f(rx1, ry1, rz1); </code></pre> <p>To draw the spheres, I use the following functions:</p> <pre><code>public void drawtriangle(float[] v1, float[] v2, float[] v3) { gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLES); gl.glNormal3fv(v1, 0); gl.glVertex3fv(v1, 0); gl.glNormal3fv(v2, 0); gl.glVertex3fv(v2, 0); gl.glNormal3fv(v3, 0); gl.glVertex3fv(v3, 0); gl.glEnd(); } private void subdivideSphere2(float v1[], float v2[], float v3[], long depth) { float v12[] = new float[3]; float v23[] = new float[3]; float v31[] = new float[3]; int i; if (depth==0) { float[] color= {v1[0]*v1[0], v2[1]*v2[1], v3[2]*v3[2], alpha}; gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_AMBIENT, blackish,0); gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_DIFFUSE, color,0); gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_SPECULAR, color,0); gl.glMaterialfv(GL.GL_FRONT, GL.GL_SHININESS, color,0); drawtriangle(v1, v2, v3); return; } for (i = 0; i&lt;3; i++) { v12[i] = v1[i]+v2[i]; v23[i] = v2[i]+v3[i]; v31[i] = v3[i]+v1[i]; } normalize(v12); normalize(v23); normalize(v31); subdivideSphere2(v1, v12, v31, depth-1); subdivideSphere2(v2, v23, v12, depth-1); subdivideSphere2(v3, v31, v23, depth-1); subdivideSphere2(v12, v23, v31, depth-1); } public void drawSphere() { subdivideSphere2(sVdata[0], sVdata[1], sVdata[2], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[0], sVdata[2], sVdata[4], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[0], sVdata[4], sVdata[5], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[0], sVdata[5], sVdata[1], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[3], sVdata[1], sVdata[5], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[3], sVdata[5], sVdata[4], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[3], sVdata[4], sVdata[2], depth); subdivideSphere2(sVdata[3], sVdata[2], sVdata[1], depth); } </code></pre> <p>My problem is, the small spheres aren't reflecting light at all. They are very bright all the time. I can see a little bit of the light being reflected in the green lines of the cube when I move the big sphere closer to them, but no effect at all to the spheres. Also, I can't see any difference when I move the directional light (LIGHT1). I don't see any reflection on the lines of the cube, the big sphere, small spheres or the picture in the back. Below is screenshot of my program. How can I make my spheres not shine, and reflect both the directional light and the light from the big sphere? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/fzCRC2K.png" alt="My program"></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
