Hi,
you have need a half-day for
With[{a = 1, b = 2, c = 1/2},
ParametricPlot3D[
{a*Cos[phi]*Sin[th], b*Sin[phi]*Sin[th],
c*Cos[th], Hue[phi/(2Pi)]},
{th, 0, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2Pi}, Lighting -> False]
]
but wish
With[{a = 1, b = 2, c = 1/2},
ParametricPlot3D[
{a*Cos[phi]*Sin[th], b*Sin[phi]*Sin[th],
c*Cos[th],
SurfaceColor[Hue[phi/(2Pi)]]},
{th, 0, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2Pi}]
]
You can't have shadows in Mathematica. Even when
you would be able to produce shadows, your scene
has no floor or wall to show you the shadow
You can try MathGL3d form
http://phong.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~kuska/mathgl3dv3/
and save the graphics to POVRay or Renderman and
use these render engines to obtain light sources
with shadows but you should add a floor or a box
with solid walls in the back of the object.

| Hi to everyone.
|
| I've just obtained a Student License of
Mathematica, and I'm working in
| graphics...
|
| I've created, after a half-day of work, an image
representing an ellipsoid,
| with a colored surface
|
| When I try to represent it, I must put
Ligthing->False to see surface
| colors.
|
| I'd like to know if there's a way to obtain a
rendered image, in which I
| can have both light and surface color, to give a
shadow to the figure and
| create a more 3D effect.
|
| Thanks for replies.
|
| Below there's the code...
