Question Any way to have more than 6 pixel lights in one scene?

[insomnia]

The default pixel light count limited to 6, any way to break the limit?

As I understand it, the pixel light count doesn't limit how many can be in a scene. It limits how many can be illuminating any single vertex. So if you find yourself needing more than 6 in your scene, think about limiting where the lights shine. For example use spot lights rather than point lights, so each light is only illuminating the surfaces you intend it to light, with no unintended spillover. A couple point lights off in the distance may not be providing useful illumination to a specific part of the scene, but they still count towards the light limit.

I don't think so. Whichever Vam decides is the least important light will be turned into a vertex light.

Hey! Check this out!

In your Vam root directory, open "prefs.json" with a text editor. Search for "pixelLightCount", change it to whatever you want, and save.

It seems to work, though I haven't actually tested it out. Not sure how i would!

Or try setting renderMode to ForcePixel (default:Auto) on all lights to prevent switching Point/Vertex mode.
It should also bypass pixel light count on user settings.
