Hmmm, I'm still missing something. What I've got now is a class
UnshadedRenderJ3D, which has a bunch of things along the lines of
public class UnshadedRendererJ3D extends DefaultRendererJ3D {
public UnshadedRendererJ3D () {
super();
}
public ShadowType makeShadowType(
FunctionType type, DataDisplayLink link, ShadowType parent)
throws VisADException, RemoteException {
return new ShadowUnshadedTypeJ3D(type, link, parent);
}
public ShadowType makeShadowFunctionType(
FunctionType type, DataDisplayLink link, ShadowType parent)
throws VisADException, RemoteException {
return new ShadowUnshadedFunctionTypeJ3D(type, link, parent);
}
.......
Then I have a new version of (non-static) makeAppearance, which I have
placed in ShadowUnshadedTypeJ3D. This version of makeAppearance does
something different with the lighting. But I'm never entering that method.
What else do I need to do? I previously had a bunch of makeAppearances also
in the other ShadowUnshaded.... guys, just referring back to the one in
ShadowUnshadedTypeJ3D, but the compiler complains about referencing a
non-static method from a static context... I'm not enough of a java expert
to sort this all out...

I screwed up when I told you to override ShadowTypeJ3D.makeAppearance(),
because it turns out to be static and cannot be overridden.
I made a not-very-well-tested change, so makeAppearance() is
no longer static (now there is an equivalent static method
named staticMakeAppearance()). Its in the *.jar files at:
ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/untested/
Please let us know if you still have problems.
Cheers,
Bill
