https://blendermarket.com/products/light-wrangler
Blender 4.3 - 4.5
- Light Wrangler is a professional-grade Blender add-on designed to revolutionize how artists handle lighting inside their scenes. Created for 3D artists, animators, and visual storytellers who want both precision and speed, Light Wrangler takes the tedious aspects of lighting setup and transforms them into an intuitive, visually driven workflow. Whether you’re designing cinematic shots, product renders, or architectural interiors, this tool empowers you to light your scenes with confidence and efficiency.
- At its core, Light Wrangler offers an advanced yet user-friendly interface for managing every light in your project. Instead of manually tweaking dozens of sliders and properties, you can now position, rotate, and adjust light intensity directly in the viewport with simple, interactive controls. The add-on supports all Blender-native light types, HDRI environments, and IES profiles, giving you full creative freedom to achieve realistic illumination and mood without breaking your workflow.
- One of its standout features is the cursor-based lighting system — simply click where you want light to fall, and Light Wrangler automatically places and orients the light source for optimal results. You can dynamically control light falloff, softness, and exposure in real-time, allowing for quick experimentation and immediate visual feedback. For those who love working with HDRI maps, Light Wrangler includes a streamlined HDRI manager that makes it easy to browse, rotate, and fine-tune environment lighting. You can even bake HDRI lighting setups with a single click, saving hours of manual adjustment.
- The add-on also includes Gobo and IES support, perfect for achieving realistic shadows and stylized lighting effects. Whether you need soft filtered sunlight through blinds or detailed light dispersion from industrial fixtures, Light Wrangler helps create those nuanced touches that elevate a render from good to stunning.
- Performance is another strong point. Light Wrangler is optimized for both Eevee and Cycles, ensuring fast, smooth interaction even in complex scenes. Version 3.0 introduces a more responsive UI, additional controls for color temperature, and compatibility with Blender 4.x, maintaining seamless integration with the latest versions of the software.
