SceneManager* mDotSceneMgr;
mDotSceneMgr = mRoot->getSceneManager(ST_GENERIC);
ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().setWorldResourceGroupName("General");
mDotSceneMgr->setWorldGeometry( "MyScene.scene" );
ParseDotScene( "MyScene.scene", "General" );

The file(MyScene.scene) include a room's model that export by 3DSMax6.

Now, I can see the room, but I can't see the room's shadow.

why?
Who can help me?
Thanks very much!

I don't believe DotScene deals with casting shadows from the static geometry. It's a community add-on, support for casting (rather than receiving) shadows will have to be added by the community if you want it.

Alternatively you can use the official StaticGeometry class which does support casting shadows from static geometry.

[edit]Don't cross-post, it's very annoying. I've deleted your other thread which is identical to this one.[/edit]
