Description: Take control of 3D lighting with HDR Light Studio. HDR Light Studio adds a dedicated lighting interface, tools, and HDR content to your 3D software with live-link plug-ins. Get ready to fall in love with a new lighting process. Take a tour of the key features and see how HDR Light Studio will revolutionize your approach to 3D lighting.



What's New?
HDR Light Studio is continually improving to make the lighting process smoother for the 3D artist and to enable sophisticated lighting control. With this in mind, we take pleasure in introducing the latest features added to HDR Light Studio 8 Drop 2.

The Beauty of Lighting
A high-quality lighting design is an essential ingredient in the best 3D renders. Visit our gallery to see the fantastic images lit by our customers with HDR Light Studio.

Easy & Fast to Learn
Adding HDR Light Studio to your 3D toolset is not just a financial investment but, more importantly, an investment of your time. The HDR Light Studio interface is intuitive and easy to use. Watch the Quick Start video, and you will be able to produce high-quality lighting designs with ease.

A User Interface for 3D Lighting
HDR Light Studio puts you in the driving seat of the 3D lighting process. The user interface contains tools and lighting content that allow you to explore and build lighting designs intuitively and quickly. Drag and drop lights and click on the 3D render to manipulate their position and properties - we call this the LightPaint® system.

Live Link to your 3D Software
HDR Light Studio is a seamless extension to your 3D software. As you light the shot in the HDR Light Studio interface, the plug-in creates and syncs the lighting in your 3D software. The HDR Light Studio project is embedded in the 3D scene file and kept in sync with every change. Each time you start HDR Light Studio, this project loads to edit the lighting.

HDR Textured Area Lights
Area Lights are 3D rectangular lights with the appearance texture created in HDR Light Studio mapped onto its surface. Area Lights are used to light and reflect in specific parts of your scene.

When using Area Lights in HDR Light Studio, the plug-in handles everything in your 3D software - building each area light/emitter with RGB and alpha textures applied in the correct method for your selected renderer, moving and scaling area lights, and updating the textures as the appearance is changed.

Light Appearance
When lighting shiny reflective objects like jewelry, products, cars, and packaging - it is essential to have complete control over the appearance of each lighting element. HDR Light Studio provides unparalleled control over the appearance of lights, allowing you to craft highly sophisticated lighting designs that improve and enrich the visual quality of your 3D renders.

Edit HDRI Environments
HDR Light Studio is a creative playground for editing HDRI maps. You can add lights and blockers, make local color and saturation adjustments, add diffusion and motion blur filters, and even mix elements of different HDRI maps. HDR Light Studio gives you more control over image-based lighting in your 3D software.

Audition
The Audition mode lets you hover the cursor over a Preset to instantly and temporarily apply it to the currently selected light. If you like the look of the preset, apply it to the light with a double click. Being able to audition presets dramatically speeds up the lighting exploration process. You can audition HDRI maps, lights, colors, and more.
