Why we like it

Light Generator earns its place in the Blender extensions library for turning slider-based controls into scene lighting, with distribution patterns, randomized power, and locally saved presets. Version 1.2.0's context-aware editing lets multiple generators be managed independently.

What is Light Generator?

Light Generator is a Blender add-on from TFMSTYLE for generating lights in a scene with varied distribution options. Slider-based controls handle spacing patterns, randomized position, ring position, and light type. A target object option and randomized power add to the generation controls, and each light's color can be modified separately.

Presets can be saved and loaded locally, and version 1.2.0 added a button to delete presets from the preset tab. Generated lights are organized into a new collection and created within an empty object, with a Select All Lights button to grab every light at once. Context-aware editing lets you create multiple generators and edit them independently.

The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It ranks within the Blender extensions library.

Who is Light Generator best for?

Light Generator is best for blender artists who want to generate multiple scene lights with distribution patterns, randomized power, and reusable presets.

Frequently asked questions

Does Light Generator work with Blender 4.2?

Light Generator is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so recent Blender releases are covered. The add-on generates lights in your scene with varied distribution options controlled through sliders. Because it targets 4.2 LTS and later, users on older Blender versions should check the developer's page before installing. Version 1.2.0 is the current release, published in October 2025 and updated since then.

How do I install Light Generator in Blender?

Light Generator installs like other Blender extensions: you can drag and drop the add-on into Blender, or download the package and install it from disk. The download is a small ZIP file, so setup is quick. Once installed, it creates lights in your scene using slider-based options, placing generated lights in a new collection and within an empty object. For step-by-step guidance, the developer's page and Blender's own extension install documentation are the best references.

Does Light Generator require special permissions?

Light Generator does not require special permissions, according to its extension listing. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and this catalog lists it as free. The add-on saves and loads light presets locally on your machine. For the latest licensing terms and any updates, check the developer's page, and issues can be reported through the project's GitHub tracker.

What changed in Light Generator 1.2.0?

Light Generator 1.2.0 introduced context-aware editing, letting you create multiple generators and edit them independently. Lights are now created in an empty object for better functions, and a new Select All Lights button selects every generated light for better visibility. The update also added a delete preset button in the preset tab and made UI styling changes. Alongside these additions, the add-on keeps its core capabilities: slider-based options, varied spacing patterns, a target object, randomized power, and locally saved presets.
