Hello

you need to enable renderer shadow map

view.mainLoop.gfxEngine.renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
view.mainLoop.gfxEngine.renderer.shadowMap.type = itowns.THREE.PCFShadowMap;

and move the light over the objects

var cP = view.controls.getLookAtCoordinate();
cP.altitude += 100;
sun.position.copy(cP.as(view.referenceCrs));

Beware the itowns ground doesn't handle shadows yet.

best regards

Dear all,

is it possible to enable casting shadows in iTowns especially using 3DTiles?

Here is a minimal example with three.js 3D objects in iTowns.
I've set the castShadow and receiveShadow properties to true and added a new DirectionalLight casting shadows.

Might be possible that I've forgotten something!?!
