Physical Starlight and Atmosphere - Sky is a Blender addon for real-time, physics-based sky and atmosphere rendering. It works in Eevee and Cycles, using photometric measurements and analytic air mass volume calculations for scientifically accurate atmospheric scattering.

Extreme PBR Nexus is a Blender addon for managing a library of over 1800 materials, compatible with Cycles and Eevee. It includes texture painting between materials, animated water, and displacement built on native Blender modifiers.

Tri-lighting is a Blender add-on that places a three-point lighting setup on the selected or active object. Found under View3D → Add → Lights, it was previously bundled with Blender 4.1.

Lens Sim is a Blender addon that simulates camera lenses using real-world optical data. It extends the standard Blender camera so you can choose and render dozens of lenses in Cycles.

Sun Position is a Blender add-on that positions and animates the Sun to simulate real-world natural lighting, using geographic location, time and date based on the NOAA online calculator.

Dynamic Sky is a Blender add-on that creates dynamic sky for the Cycles render engine. Originally authored by Pratik Solanki, it was part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and is now offered as-is.

Pro-Lighting: Skies is a Blender add-on from Blender Guru that delivers one-click outdoor lighting using HDR-quality skies. It provides realistic lighting accurate to the real world, optimized for Blender.

Brushstroke Tools is a Blender add-on from Blender Studio for a painterly 3D brushstrokes workflow. It creates, manages and edits layers of procedurally generated brushstrokes to build stylized looks for asset production.

Pure-Sky Pro is an atmospheric system for Blender from 3DVision, building skies, volumetric clouds, and lighting environments. It ships with sky, cloud, and fog presets and works with Eevee Next and Cycles.

Grungit is a Blender addon that adds wear and tear to models with a single click. It produces high-quality edge wear, grunge, and dirt, and stays fully controllable from subtle imperfections to heavy damage.

Baketool is a Blender add-on from Cogumelo Softworks that reworks Cycles bake rendering into a more coherent workflow. It handles asset and full-scene baking, PBR maps, and high-poly to low-poly transfers.

Noise Nodes is a Blender add-on that adds 14 custom shader nodes for creating advanced materials. After installation, the nodes appear under Shader Nodes > Add Node > Noise Nodes.

Alpha Trees is a Blender addon from Strike Digital that renders forests using flat tree cards instead of high-poly 3D models, cutting memory use and render times while the cards face the active camera.

Auto Eye is a fully procedural, customizable eye for Blender, built for Cycles and Eevee. It covers styles from realistic to cartoon and animal eyes, with shape keys and material parameters.

Extra Lights - Photometric Lighting brings physically based, photometric lighting to Blender's Cycles and Eevee. It adds over 60 light presets based on real world fixtures, with strength set in lumens and Kelvin color temperatures.

Freestyle SVG Exporter is a Blender add-on that exports Freestyle's stylized edges in SVG format. Once part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons, it is now offered as-is with limited support.

Render Raw - Color Grading & Effects gives Blender an interface for perfecting colors through Lightroom-style sliders in the Properties Editor or 3D Viewport. It handles the Raw view transform setup and adds camera effects.

Light Painter is a Blender add-on that flips light placement around: instead of positioning lamps by hand, you paint where you want light to fall and it adds and places the light for you.

Quick Studio Light is a Blender add-on for fast lighting with improved selection. Activate Lighting Mode, hover over objects to place lights, and select lights by clicking the areas they illuminate.

Colorista is a color add-on for Blender that uses a LAB-like algorithm with clamping mechanisms to adjust saturation. It keeps hue stable while saturation increases, avoiding the color shifts common in traditional synthesizers.

Layer Painter is a Blender addon (2.82+) that brings a layer system to material creation, combining painting and procedurals with masks, filters and baking. Built with a PBR workflow in mind, it also supports stylized painting.

Mask Tools is a Blender add-on for texturing and creating complex materials without exporting to other software. Add paint layers and procedural effects like edge detect, dust, and grunge to produce realistic textures.

QLE (Quick Lighting Environment) is a Blender add-on that adds a basic lighting setup to your scene from a panel under Properties > Scene. One click builds a World, four Area Lights, a tracking Empty, and a Backdrop.

Render Manager Addon Renderset is a Blender addon from polygoniq for creating and managing scene variations through renderset contexts. Switch camera, HDRI, render and visibility settings without duplicating collections or objects.
