This one earns its place for a focused task: turning light groups into diffuse, specular, transmission, and volume passes in a single click, with an optional Nuke script to recombine them downstream.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter is a Blender add-on from Roland-Vyens for generating light AOVs. With one click it separates light groups into four channels—diffuse, specular, transmission, and volume—producing passes named in the style of diffuse_env and specular_env. The developer describes the aim as industry-standard controllability during the compositing stage.
The developer recommends pairing it with Industrial AOV Connector. A Nuke Python script is provided on GitHub to auto shuffle and combine the lightgroup AOVs together, though it works only with EXRs produced by Industrial AOV Connector. The developer notes this is a workaround rather than the proper way to handle separated light AOV channels.
The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and requires no special permissions. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is listed here as free. For native light material AOVs, the developer also points to the Industrial CG Platform Blender branch on GitHub.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter is best for blender artists preparing separated light AOV channels for the compositing stage.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter is completely free to download and use.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so recent 4.2 builds are covered. The add-on requires no special permissions, and at roughly 8.9 KB it is a small download. You can drag and drop the extension into Blender or download it and install from disk. If you need native light material AOVs, the developer also points to the Industrial CG Platform Blender branch as a separate option on GitHub.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter splits light groups into diffuse, specular, transmission, and volume channels on its own, but the developer recommends using it together with Industrial AOV Connector. A Nuke Python script is provided on GitHub to auto shuffle and combine the lightgroup AOVs, and that script works only with EXRs produced by Industrial AOV Connector. The developer notes this recombination is a workaround rather than the proper way to handle separated light AOV channels.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter separates light groups into four channels—diffuse, specular, transmission, and volume—in a single click. The resulting passes follow a naming style such as diffuse_env and specular_env, which the developer describes as aimed at industry-standard controllability during the compositing stage. Downstream, the provided Nuke Python script can auto shuffle and combine those lightgroup AOVs, though only when the EXRs come from Industrial AOV Connector.
Industrial Light AOV Splitter is listed here as free and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The add-on requires no special permissions and is a compact download of about 8.9 KB. You can get it by dragging and dropping into Blender or installing from disk.
