hi... I need my program to cast more lights than my video card allow. I was thinking about including those famous lightmaps, but I´ve hardly found any information about them, or how to set and use them, not even in this forum. anyone here got a link to tutorials about lightmaps to share, or anything like that ? Tnx a lot.

I didn`t find them hard to use, but I found them hard to create :) 3ds max for example can, but then you have to create your whole scene in 3ds...
If you really need more lights, you can light your scene with multiple passes, using 8 lights in each pass...
