8 lights to be processed in one frame, the next 8 lights processed in the next frame, then the final 8 in the third frame.


this is a very bad idea.. this will make all of your light flicker..ugly. Bascially you cant get around the 8 light limit yet, so dont try, just design around it..instead of using 2 lights for each car headlights, just use one for each car. of course, only activate lights that are near to the camera, and can easlity fade them in and out..when you think about it, 8 lights at once is an awful lot of lights, more than you should reasonably need.
