Hi
i have translated a code written in basic language here to VC6++ code as in the attached code, the example displaying a fan which will rotate upon pressing the spacebar, my problem is that the lighting of the fan blades is dim and it seems as it is lighted from behind but the lighting of the fan body is okay like this picture:
but if i have deleted the fan body (base, stand, motor) and keeping the blades only the lighting is okay like this picture:
how can i fix the problem
the code for the whole VC6++ is below and can be downloaded with a project files and a debug exe from here
a note: the box function is for displaying one fan blade only and it is called by the Fan_Render 6 times with glRotatef and glTranslatef to make the 6 blades. the logic is from the display function to Fan_Render function to box function
thank you very much
