Key benefits of HDR Light Studio for Blender users include: I have found it a joy to learn and use Blender and its Cycles render engine.” “Thanks to our new API and the responsiveness of Blender itself, the integration is incredibly fast. “We are very excited to launch this new add-on linking HDR Light Studio with Blender,” said Lightmap CEO and 3D product designer Mark Segasby. The Blender connection is the first to take advantage of HDR Light Studio’s new API (added in HDR Light Studio’s Xenon Drop 1 release) and is used to establish a real-time connection between the two applications. HDR Light Studio enables me to generate high-quality lighting more intuitively.” The Blender Connection “Lighting used to feel cumbersome, and there was a lot of guesswork involved in how reflections would look. “I found HDR Light Studio a long time ago, and always wanted to use it for my Blender projects,” says automotive artist Daniel Vesterbaek, who recently adopted the new connection in his work. The new connection makes the lighting tools used in production by firms like Porsche, Sony, and Framestore available to individual Blender users for the first time. It’s nice to be able to focus only on the lighting.” “The improvement in speed that HDR Light Studio provides is immense,” said motion designer Gizmo Beardon, “Manually moving light objects and tweaking settings in Blender takes time. HDR Light Studio enables artists to create custom HDRI-based set-ups that mimic real-world lighting without the need to place 3D lights by hand, through time-saving features like LightPaint, which lets users position highlights on a model simply by clicking on its surface. The plug-in creates a live link between HDR Light Studio and Blender, helping automotive, visualization, and entertainment artists to create accurate photorealistic lighting set-ups more quickly, intuitively, and creatively. New real-time connection plug-in makes the powerful lighting toolkit used by leading design and automotive studios available to Blender users worldwideĨ September 2020 – Today, Lightmap released its new Blender connection for HDR Light Studio, making the artist-friendly real-time lighting toolkit available to users of the open-source 3D design and rendering software.
