lights cant really be blended with the current shader system. The reason is complicated.. basically, you need to pass a light vector to the shader.. this light vector has to come from the entity that is being lit.. there are only enough skills for one vector. material skills cant cut it because those can only be passed into it once per frame.. not per object. Also.. the number of passes is increased by 2 eveytime you want to render a light. The real way to blend per pixel lights is to do it in a difernt way.. a way not currently available. The a6 shader system is nice..but you need more skills to pass more light vectors.. of course you can fake it by adding in set lvectors.. but that only works for lights that have fixed positions.. like a sunlight.. in my system you can in fact have a fixed sunlight/ambient light as well as the point lights.. but the point lights can never mix. Until JCL adds in more skills or directly passes in the wed lighting info(more than just VecLight) you can never make the Doom3 engine
remember though.. even in engines like Doom 3 you cant really mix more than a few lights or it becomes very slow..i would say 3 lights mixed is the realistic max..
