Hi I want to know how to make many light sources? as u know we have just 8 light source but in most of game and 3d application there are enormous light source (like lamps or ...)how could this be? i want to turn on my stadium light Projections so what would be the best way?

As far as I know the 8 light limit was a limitation of the fixed function pipeline.If you are using shaders you can have more than 8 lights.Still do you really need more than 8?For example you can place one light to each corner of the stadium isn't that enough?

so really i didn't mean that!
i want to have some virtual light sources maybe not real!
only seems to be light source just like lamps!
using 4 real light is expensive and i don't want that!

sorry for poor english!
