Lighter Addon earns its place in the superhive library for offering a fast, procedural way to light Blender models — aimed at artists who find manual lighting setups difficult.
Lighter Addon is a procedural lighting tool for Blender from developer morelewd. It's built around a brute-force approach to lighting: rather than hand-placing lamps, you generate setups and try many of them in a matter of seconds. The workflow is simple — select the object you want to light, hit Light it up! in the addon panel, then adjust the parameters until the setup suits your scene.
The 2.0 version adds a presets system, translation on the local space, and Plug and Play Gobos. You can move the lighter object freely to place lights wherever you want by removing the point to object option, so you're not tied to the generated arrangement. Documentation is included to walk you through the setup.
Gobo textures are not bundled in the 2.0 release, though the developer notes they should arrive in upcoming versions along with more presets. Lighter Addon supports Blender 4.2 back through 3.3, and a demo video is available.
Lighter Addon is best for blender users who want to generate lighting setups quickly, including those who find manual lighting a struggle.
Lighter Addon is completely free to download and use.
Lighter Addon lists support for Blender 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4 and 3.3, covering releases from the 3.x line through 4.2. If you run one of these versions, the addon should fit into your setup. Compatibility can change as new Blender releases ship, so for the most current details and any versions added after this, check morelewd's page on superhive before downloading. That way you can confirm the addon matches the version you're running.
Lighter Addon is listed as free here, so you can add it to your Blender setup without a cost figure attached in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time and the developer sets the current conditions, so it's worth confirming the latest pricing and license details on morelewd's page on superhive before you download. Doing so lets you see exactly what applies to the version of the addon you're getting.
Lighter Addon includes Plug and Play Gobos as part of the 2.0 version, but the gobo textures themselves are not bundled in 2.0. The developer notes these textures should become available in upcoming versions, alongside additional presets planned for later releases. If gobo textures matter to your workflow, keep an eye on morelewd's page on superhive for updates, since the feature set is set to expand beyond what the 2.0 release currently ships with.
Lighter Addon works by letting you select the object you want to light in your scene, then hitting Light it up! in the addon panel to generate a setup. From there you adjust the available parameters to tweak the result to your liking. You can also move the lighter object freely to position lights wherever you want by removing the point to object option. This gives a quick way to run through many lighting setups on a model.
