The shadowless operation masks the transformed shape so it can't cast any shadow. You can still see the original shape and its reflections:
This transformation only requires the specification of the original shape:
You can use shadowless for special effects, and to accelerate rendering by excluding a subtree from the scene from the shadow generation algorithm. Combined with a lightSource ambient light, it can be used to make visible an otherwise invisible light source.
