I'm having trouble with a set of mine that has 8 lights in it, and ca'nt remember if P6's limit is 6,8, or what? Anyone, please?

P6 doesn't have a limit of 6, 8 or anything like that. OpenGL has a display limit of 6, I believe. This means that significantly more than this won't be previewed correctly - or rather, what passes for "correctly" in Poser's light preview. You can, however, successfully load and render a ridiculous amount of lights in P6. The largest I've managed so far is 72.

Good Lord! And I get spanked for saying I've used 3 plus an IBL, LOL

Yep, there's a limit - but one could say, too, that this is kind of an enhancement. You don't need to mess around with a complete dome out of 70 near-black lights to get the illusion of sunlight or to add 24 lights to illuminate a room. Maybe I'm alone with my opinion, but I think the P6-lighting is the major enhancement and much closer to reality (and a lot easier to handle).

I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!

Thanks! I have a couple .PYs to make sets with 150-200, or so at home, I can check if you want. Ockham, I, and couple other artists worked on Global Illumination last year, but most of our expectations got dashed.
