Only one directional light can emit light when using LWRP

Package: Scriptable Render Pipeline Lightweight

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "SingleDirectionalLight.zip" and scene "SampleScene"
2. Observe the Sphere in Game or Scene views
3. In Hierarchy window, select "DirLight1"
4. In Inspector window -> Light(component) change around the Intensity (from 0 to 10 and observe Sphere in Game view)
5. In Inspector window -> Light(component) change Color of the Sphere (try changing all RGB values)

Expected result: the Sphere is lit by both red and blue directional lights
Actual result: the Sphere is only lit by one color and the active directional light is changing when repeating step 4 and 5

Reproducible with: 2018.2.14f1, 2018.3.0b8, 2019.1.0a6

  1. Resolution Note:

    Currently the Lightweight Render Pipeline does not support multiple directional lights, this was by design initially but we are working on adding the ability to render multiple directional lights for when we come out of preview.

    There's no tooltip warning us about this or anything, frustrated the heck out of me trying to figure out why the lighting wasn't working.

    Any update on this? I'm currently on 2019.2.16f1 and multiple directional lights still does not work.

    This would be very useful and I really hope this is included when the LWRP transitions to be the URP.

    I may have to switch to the HDRP now, which worries slightly regarding device support.

    Now that LWRP has been renamed to URP can we expect to see multiple directional lights any time soon? Almost 2 years with no word from Unity on this is a bit off-putting

    3rd.

    This is very stressful to me that I'm working on character lighting now and I know I can use spot light but I need to control full body siluette bright(testing rim light positionh etc) and setting up a additional directional light was always 1st choice to previewing light scene.

    @Unity is your information, that you are working on support of multiple directional lights, still valid?

    It is nearly impossible to make a cool looking lighting in a spaceship game with only ambient and one directional light.
