Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused Cycles add-on for applying light to individual objects rather than a whole scene.
Add Light To A Selected Object is a Blender add-on from studioromanrec that adds lighting targeted to specific objects in a scene. By selecting and assigning one or several objects through the add-on, you set up light that acts only on those objects and leaves everything else unaffected.
The add-on works only with Cycles. It is available for Blender 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, and is listed as Blender Extension compatible. Distributed under the GPL license, it ships as an add-on with documentation included. It also appears in the Studioromanrec Blender Add-Ons Bundle alongside other tools from the same creator.
A demo video is available for those who want to see more before installing. For current licensing and download details, check the developer's page.
Add Light To A Selected Object is best for blender artists working in Cycles who want to light specific objects in a scene separately from the rest.
Add Light To A Selected Object is completely free to download and use.
Add Light To A Selected Object supports Blender 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, so it covers current 4.x releases including 4.3. It is also listed as Blender Extension compatible, meaning it fits Blender's extension system. It ships as an add-on with documentation included. For versions outside this range, or to confirm behaviour on a specific build, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond the listed versions is not stated here.
Add Light To A Selected Object works only with Cycles, so it is intended for scenes rendered with Blender's Cycles engine rather than Eevee or other renderers. When you select and assign objects through the add-on, the light acts only on those objects and leaves the rest of the scene unaffected. If your project uses a different render engine, this add-on will not apply, so plan your workflow around Cycles when using it.
Add Light To A Selected Object is distributed under the GPL license and is listed as an add-on extension type for Blender. It comes with documentation, and it is included in the Studioromanrec Blender Add-Ons Bundle alongside other tools from the same creator. The GPL license governs how the add-on can be used and shared. For the full terms and any conditions tied to your download, review the details on the developer's page before relying on it in commercial work.
Add Light To A Selected Object is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. Licensing and pricing can change over time and may differ on the developer's own store, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading. The add-on is also bundled in the Studioromanrec Blender Add-Ons Bundle with other tools from the same creator, which is another way it is distributed.
