    OpenGL has a limitation of eight lights, so it’s curious that you can only see six. It may be a limitation of your video card. In any case, there’s no way to go over eight.

    What you can do is the interactive region render function to adjust lighting. Not as fast as OpenGL, but better than rendering countless test pics.
