<br>
It was more of a case of seeing that an easy way of turning shadows on was<br>
available and of trying it out to see what it looked like to determine<br>
whether it was something we could offer our customers as an option (and it<br>
looks good at shows!).<br>
<br>
I take your point that it probably makes the visualisation more 'busy' and<br>
may hide areas in shade that would otherwise be seen. I was interested in<br>
whether a subtle shadow made depth perception a bit easier.<br>

>From a quick google, examples of renders of medical data with shadows on are<br>
few and far between. This is a fairly nice example:<br>

be due to quite a lot of them being based on VTK though!<br>
