The following scene graph might resolve your lighting issues:
---->oLightModel
1. oScene-|
|
---->oGeometryModel
In 1., rotating oGeometryModel, leaves oLightModel out of sync!
2.
---->oLightModel
|
oScene-->oModel---|
|
---->oGeometryModel
In 2., rotating oModel, gives oLightModel the same rotation as
oGeometryModel preserving original lighting effects.
Another way to accomplish the same would be to retrieve the relative
transformation b/w the light model and the geometry model, and apply
it to the lightmodel, every time the geometry model is rotated.
Hope this helps,
Cartik
