    x5 number of lights on

    What is max number of lights being processed at one time? Is it set by program or by video card?

    it is set by the video card

    most cards have a max of 8 lights - more lights cost more $$$

    Chief only uses lights in the room that the camera is in

    raytracing uses the cpu and can use any/all lights available
