View Full Version : GL_LIGHT999  05-28-2003, 04:47 AM Hello
everyone!  Just one probably absurd question: Every OpenGL-
beginner knows that there are obviously maximal 8 standard light
sources, provided by OpenGL. To my mind using one or more of
these light sources isn't too difficult!  But, and now the
question, what would i have to do if i liked to use more than
these 8 standard light sources. Well, i just can't believe this
should be impossible. But unfortunately up to now i am not an
expert in OpenGL! So, would you, as the real experts, be so kind
and help me? What do i have to do? Where can i get more Info?
Thank you very much!   05-28-2003, 05:29 AM First, 8 is the
minimum which must be supported, there are implementations with
more (like 24). For a software implementation it's pretty
simple, just increase your arrays and bitfields holding all the
light's state and loop over all those lights (that is, it should
be pretty simple to change MESA to support almost arbitrary
numbers of lights. Hardware doesn
