I'm having trouble displaying shadows in Performer 2.2 on an iR. I noticed from
the mailing list other people had exactly the same problem a couple of months
ago.

which describes exactly what I'm seeing in my application too. Apparently, it
all depends on the relative position of the light source with respect to the
camera. Note also the problem does not disappear when playing with displace
scale and offset.
Somebody reported to me that there was an engineer at SGI working on fixing the
problem, but he had Visa trouble in July and didn't finish solving the problem.
My question is: what is the current status, i.e. what are the latest news? Will
a patch be available etc.?
Amaury.
