Earns its place in the superhive library for bundling studio lights, HDRI presets and dome projection, and camera controls behind a beginner-friendly panel.
i-Lity Lights is a Blender add-on from Gtech-i-Design LLC for building studio lighting setups without the hassle of complex configuration. It adds pre-configured studio lights with a few clicks and offers a variety of presets to choose from, so you can match a desired mood and style directly in the scene.
Beyond lights, the add-on integrates HDRI environments: you can browse and set HDRI image presets and use a built-in HDRI preview to pick a background. Its HDRI Dome World Projection projects an HDRI image as your background within a dome half sphere, creating a realistic scene in seconds. Camera management lets you add and align cameras to your view, toggle camera lock, and adjust settings from the sidebar.
A backdrop and object utilities panel rounds things out, letting you snap selected objects to the ground, scale objects, and manage their materials and modifiers in one place. The interface is laid out for users new to Blender, and it supports Blender 4.2, 4.1, and 4.0.
I-Lity Lights is best for 3D artists, product visualizers, animators, and archviz designers who want studio lighting setups in Blender.
I-Lity Lights is completely free to download and use.
i-Lity Lights lists support for Blender 4.2, 4.1, and 4.0, so it targets the 4.x series rather than older releases. If you're running one of these versions, the add-on's studio lights, HDRI presets, camera tools, and object utilities are available from its panel. For versions outside this range, or to confirm compatibility with a newer Blender build, check the developer's page for current details before installing, since the listed versions reflect what was noted at publication.

Licensing details can carry specific conditions, so confirm anything you're unsure about directly with Gtech-i-Design LLC before relying on it for a particular project.
i-Lity Lights is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for the current terms and any download conditions, check the developer's page directly.

i-Lity Lights includes an HDRI Dome World Projection feature that projects an HDRI image as your background within a dome half sphere, letting you create a realistic scene in seconds. This works alongside the add-on's HDRI environment integration, where you can browse and set HDRI image presets and use the built-in HDRI preview to select a background. Together these cover both the projected dome background and standard HDRI environment presets from within the add-on's panel.
