the multiple lights is a good idea!

the main part of the table, not yet seen in the current image is subdivided so itll get smoother. it will also have a reflecion when im done... not sure yet how im gonna do the lightreflection

in the end im not going to use the flare you see here, but an actual flame, with a transparent quad over it to simulate the streaks from the flare a candleflame produces. those will be mirrored anyway.

did anyone notice the fsaa? :D

The very bright region on the table is due to the reflection and will be very difficult to emulate.

Sorry, must have been having a really dumb moment while posting that - specular lighting will probably help!

I was really missing the obvious solutions, wasn''t I! Instead of using multiple lights you can scale a lights contribution by changing the constant attenuation. For a light of brightness equivalent to 2.0f, use a light brightness of 1.0f and a constant attenuation of 0.5f.

whah ill have to look into that in the weekend....
