Earns its place in the superhive library as a geometry-node lighting setup that bundles five directional lights and a volumetric fog panel behind a single Add studio control.
Procedural Light Studio Addon is a geometry-node-based lighting tool for Blender, built by EdenWeby 3D to help digital artists and designers create realistic lighting effects for their 3D models. It provides five light types—left, right, front, rim, and top panel lights—that illuminate different parts of a scene or object.
The left and right lights simulate sources coming from the sides, with adjustable angles and intensities for shadows and highlights. The rim light produces a halo or rim effect around an object's edges, with adjustable intensity. Top emission panels simulate light from above to add depth and dimensionality. A separate Volumetric panel adds atmospheric fog you can edit, add noise to, and recolor.
Getting started involves scaling your model to Blender's scene scale, deleting existing lights, positioning the model facing the Y axis, and clicking Add studio to adjust the settings. Setting the background scene color to black is optional. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Procedural Light Studio Addon is best for digital artists and designers creating realistic lighting for 3D models and scenes in Blender.
Procedural Light Studio Addon is completely free to download and use.
Procedural Light Studio Addon walks through a short setup. You scale your model to Blender's normal scene scale using a cube as reference, delete any existing lights, and position the model in the middle facing the Y axis. Setting the background scene color to black is optional. After that you click Add studio and change the settings to your preference. The addon is geometry-node based and documented, and a demo video is available.
Procedural Light Studio Addon includes a Volumetric panel that you can enable to add volume to your scene. It produces atmospheric fog that you can edit—adjusting its color, adding noise, and more. This works alongside the addon's five light types, so you can combine directional lighting from the left, right, front, rim, and top panel lights with an atmospheric layer. The fog is controlled from its own panel, separate from the light setup itself.
Procedural Light Studio Addon includes a rim light as one of its five light types. The rim light creates a halo or rim effect around the edges of an object, and its intensity is adjustable so you can dial in different levels. Alongside it, the left and right lights simulate side sources with adjustable angles and intensities, while the top emission panels simulate light coming from above. Together these give you shadows and highlights across the model from several directions.
Procedural Light Studio Addon is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The addon comes with documentation to help you set up a studio, and a demo video is available. It's a geometry-node-based addon for Blender that provides five light types along with a volumetric fog panel, so you can confirm what's included on the developer's page as well.
