yea yea yea i love OGL and i have a question
Author
after putting off OGL for about 1 month i finally went bak at it and im up and running at mach 5
i just created a scene that has 2 textured cubes floating around with 2 light sources. 1 light is red and on the left and the other is on the right and is green
i was wondering how many different lights can u put into one scene? i would do it myself but i dont want to risk screwing up my comp when i can ask one u of brilliant humans ^^
thx

As many as your hardware or software renderer supports. Do you want it to be fast? Well, then exclude the software rendered. Use glGet (with GL_MAX_LIGHTS) to look up how many lights are supported.

how does glGet (with GL_MAX_LIGHTS) work?
does it simply state how many lights there are on the screen?

OpenGL compliance guarantees at least 8 lights.
Usually you don''t get more. You can check it as Null and Void said.
