    hey there Unity. I'm wondering if i can get access to a list of the lights in the scene while inside a fragment program. Is there some kind of list that i could loop through getting the lights, their types, and their positions? I'm asking because i'm going to be raymarching, and at any step through the raymarcher i wan't to know the positions of all the lights in the game.

    See this topic. Attached project stores light data to a texture and then decodes it inside fragment program. Maybe it is possible with Unity Pro. Unity free has some limitations by design. Lights are one of them.
