Figure 4-6. Light and shadow
The screenshot in Figure 4-6 shows three shapes illuminated by a DistantLight . A DropShadow is also
applied to each shape, so that the shadow is on the opposite side as the light. The code in Listing 4-5
creates an animation where the light rotates around the shapes while the shadows also rotate, always
staying on the opposite side of the light.
