How does mixing free and paid accounts affect dynamic lighting in a campaign?

New guy here! Looking at the documentation, it says that only the paid folks can access the dynamic lighting. However what happens if you have a mix of people playing? Say a gm that has paid and made dynamic lighting then has a few players with different subscriptions (free/paid)? Would the free guys see the whole map?
Dynamic lighting is controlled entirely by the creator of the campaign, regardless of any other factors. All those playing in the campaign get the benefits of the DL system, if the creator is a paid account. It doesn't matter if a player is paid or not; if the crator of the account chooses to use the DL system, all those in the campaign will get the benefits thereof. If the GM does not have a paid account, and one of the players does, one of the players with a paid account can create the campaign, give control to the GM, and let them do their thing, thereby allowing use of the DL layer to a GM who is not on a paid account. -Phnord
Wow that is awesome! Unrelated to the above, do the assets you upload get deleted if you go from paid to free(assuming that you had passed the free limit)?

Hello Leon, Phnord hits it on the nail with the dynamic lighting. If you are a mentor then drop to free account while you are exceeding the limit (for the free account) you can still use those assets but not be able to upload any new art assets till you reduce the them to below the free limit.
Thank you for the quick response! This is pretty cool! Great policy, makes it very flexible!

Yup it is nice. I would recommend if you want some of the perks, to swing the 5/month or 50 for the year to start with. All the subscription levels are worth the price in my opinion.
Free and paid accounts should be shaken, not stirred.
