I’m trying to get shadows to work with no luck yet. I added the following  
code based on some of the examples but i’m not seeing anything change.

Is there something missing?

Many thanks.

auto shadows = vtkSmartPointer\<vtkShadowMapPass\>::New();  
auto seq = vtkSmartPointer\<vtkSequencePass\>::New();

auto passes = vtkSmartPointer\<vtkRenderPassCollection\>::New();  
passes-\>AddItem ( shadows-\>GetShadowMapBakerPass() );  
passes-\>AddItem ( shadows );  
seq-\>SetPasses ( passes );

auto cameraP = vtkSmartPointer\<vtkCameraPass\>::New();  
cameraP-\>SetDelegatePass ( seq );  
m\_renderer-\>SetPass ( cameraP );
