Hi,

I want to try the raytracing function in Paraview 5.8 and 5.8.1 on Window. I can activate the raytracing option, but shading option (light interpolation and other) are not available. Can someone already resolve this problem?

Best regards

Shading option is just below raytracing option :

Thank you,

I also find more about what I want. I need to activate advanced option by clicking on the gear to access shading option.
