Earns its place in the superhive library by bundling four Vera lighting and camera addons under a single entry, one of them included at no cost.
Vera Studio Lighting Addons is a bundle from EdenWeby 3D that gathers four Blender addons into one entry: Vera Product Light, Vera Camera Motion, Vera Lighting Studio Pro and Cinematic Lighting. Vera Product Light Studio focuses on lighting objects such as cars, electronics and human models; you select the preset you want and get a lighting environment in seconds, and it also adds grounds for your subjects.
Vera Lighting Studio Pro works the same preset-first way, tapping a lighting preset to light a model, and it includes Mesh Lights and a volumetric effect for scifi looks. The Cinematic Lighting addon color grades your HDRI toward a cinematic dark look or other looks; it is compatible with Eevee, while Cycles needs the density set to 0 to output correctly.
Vera Camera Motion adds real-life camera motions recorded with Motion Tracking in Blender, shipping with 25 presets including Walking Motion, Shake Well Motion and Heads Up Motion. Cameras align automatically and can be repositioned using the Vera Camera Empty. Models can sit on the Vera Platform plane or over a transparent or black background.
Vera Studio Lighting Addons is best for blender users setting up product and cinematic lighting, HDRI color grading, and preset-based camera motion.
Vera Studio Lighting Addons is completely free to download and use.
Vera Studio Lighting Addons installs into Blender 2.8 and later, according to its setup notes. The path is to extract the downloaded zip and read the included README, or to extract the zip and install it into your Blender 2.8+ folder if you are on a more recent Blender version. Beyond that version note, the developer's page is the best place to confirm compatibility with the exact Blender build you run before you download.
Vera Studio Lighting Addons is installed by extracting the downloaded zip and reading the included README file, or by extracting the zip and installing it into your Blender 2.8+ folder if you are on a recent Blender version. The bundle groups four separate addons, so check the README for any per-addon steps. For anything the setup notes leave out, the developer's page and documentation cover the remaining details.
The Cinematic Lighting addon in Vera Studio Lighting Addons color grades your HDRI toward a cinematic dark look or other looks you have in mind. It is compatible with Eevee. For Cycles, you need to turn the density to 0 to see the output, otherwise you get a black background. The other addons in the bundle cover lighting studios and camera motion, so consult the documentation for their specifics.
Vera Camera Motion ships with 25 presets built from real-life camera motions recorded using Motion Tracking in Blender. To use one, you select a preset, add a camera and switch to it; the cameras align at their positions automatically and can be moved anywhere using the Vera Camera Empty. Named motions include Walking Motion, Shake Well Motion and Heads Up Motion, the last of which pairs with Blender's zoom and depth features.
Vera Studio Lighting Addons is listed as free in this catalog, and the bundle itself notes that one of its four addons is included at no cost. Pricing and licensing can change, and the addons also appear on other stores such as Gumroad, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. That page is also where you will find the documentation and any updates.
