    I am not quite sure what you are asking, but I think you might want a)
"shadowless" lights, b) skysphere.

    The keyword "shadowless" inside a light statement will make your light
illuminate your object without throwing shadows. A skysphere is a sphere
upon which shadows do not seem to land and which is, for all practical
purposes, infinite.

    Perhaps if you told us exactly what you were trying to do...
