Introduction

LeoMoon LightStudio is a free, open-source lighting toolkit for Blender that makes it easy to build, organize, and fine-tune studio-style lighting. Create reusable light profiles, position lights intuitively in the LightStudio Control Panel, and tailor every light to your scene with textures, animation, and precise controls.

Video below shows the options that are available per light.

Background HDR vs Manual Lighting

Why not use the other background HDR light plugins? That's because template based light plugins are predictable and limited. For product renders, you want lots of options and control, NOT templates! However you can create your own light profiles in LeoMoon LightStudio and import/export light profiles in different projects.
