shadowGenerator not generating on ground

[surreal5335]

I am trying to develop a shadow on the ground but after following the tutorial and going over other examples I could find, still its not working for me. Here is the code I have:

 

var canvas = document.getElementById("renderCanvas");
    var engine = new BABYLON.Engine(canvas, true);
    var scene = new BABYLON.Scene(engine);
    var light = new BABYLON.PointLight("light01", new BABYLON.Vector3(0.5, 3, -1.5), scene);



    var sphere = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere("sphere", 16, 1, scene);


    var ground = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateGround("ground1", 6, 6, 2, scene);
    ground.position.y = -0.5;

     


    // Shadows
    var shadowGenerator = new BABYLON.ShadowGenerator(1024, light);
    shadowGenerator.getShadowMap().renderList.push(sphere);
    shadowGenerator.useVarianceShadowMap = true; // throws an error says light.supportsVSM is not a function
       
    ground.receiveShadows = true;
    
    var camera = new BABYLON.FreeCamera("camera01", new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 2, -3), scene);

    camera.setTarget(new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 0, 0));
    camera.attachControl(canvas);

    scene.beginAnimation(sphere, 0, 100, true);


    // Render
    engine.runRenderLoop(function() {
        scene.render();
    });

 

This scene does setup and run no problem with a ground plane, sphere which reacts to the light, its just that the ground does not receive shadows from the sphere.

I am using babylon v2.2 currently

Hello to use point light with shadows you hva to use bjs 2.3 as this is a new feature

Thanks a lot, that did it. I was thinking my light may have something to do with the problem
