view3D.camera.z = -100;
view3D.camera.y = 60;

var light:PointLight = new PointLight();
light.color = 0xffffee;
light.position=new Vector3D(100,100,-1000);
light.radius = 1000 ;
 
light.visible=true ;
 
view3D.scene.addChild(light);
 
var mesh1:Mesh = model.getChildByName(“body”) as Mesh ;
mesh1.castsShadows = true ;
mesh1.material.bothSides = true;
mesh1.material.lights = [light];

what`s wrong with my script?

maybe it’s because your light radius is 1000 and you’ve positioned it 1000 units away? try increasing the radius or moving the light closer

You should add a TripleFilteredShadowMapMethod(or SoftShadowMapMethod,FilteredShadowMapMethod,and so on) to the material of the ground.Please refer to https://github.com/away3d/away3d-examples-broomstick/blob/master/src/SoftShadowTest.as.

Formerly,only DirectionalLight can produce shadow.I don’t know if it’s still now.

thanks!but mesh.material doesn`t has shadowMethod Method,
only colorMaterial has .

mesh.material is BitmapMaterial indeed.You can cast is to BitmapMaterial.(BitmapMaterial(mesh.material))
Don’t use shadowMethod,use addMethod Instead .

it is not work.

model.z= -1000
light.z=-800
light.radius = 1000.

so the model is in the light radius.
