Light Director Pro
Steven Seidler (Blendscapes3D)
How do I reset everything?
The Clear All Rigs button removes all addon-generated lights at once, without affecting any manually created lights in your scene.
Are there performance issues with effects?
No. All effects are lightweight F-Curve modifiers and have minimal performance impact. Only baking converts them into real keyframes.
Can I use this with Camera Director Pro?
Yes. Both addons are designed to work together: Camera Director Pro handles cinematography, while Light Director Pro handles professional lighting setups.
What happens when I apply a new preset?
The previous Light Director rig is automatically replaced. This keeps your scene clean and prevents duplicate lighting setups.
Can I use my own HDRIs?
Yes. You can load HDRI, EXR, PNG, or JPG files and control them directly inside the addon, including rotation, strength, and sun extraction.
Why don’t I see lighting effects in the viewport?
Make sure you are in Material Preview or Rendered View, and that the timeline is playing when using animation-based effects.
Can I export animations for render farms?
Yes. The Bake to Keyframes feature converts procedural animation into standard keyframes, fully compatible with render farms and FBX export workflows.
Does it affect my existing lights?
No. Light Director Pro only modifies lights created by the addon. All manually created or external lights remain untouched.
Can I combine multiple lighting effects?
Yes. Effects like Flicker, Fire, Lightning, or Strobe are non-destructive and can be stacked using layered F-Curve modifiers.
Can I adjust the lighting after applying a preset?
Yes. The Active Rig Quick-Tune section lets you live-adjust intensity and color temperature of all lights instantly without rebuilding the rig.
Do I need to manually place lights?
No. All cinematic presets automatically generate a full 3-point lighting rig (Key, Fill, Rim) perfectly positioned around your selected subject.
Does the addon work with Blender 5.x?
Yes. Light Director Pro is compatible with Blender 4.2 through 5.1+. It uses stable Blender Python APIs and works in Eevee, Cycles, and Workbench.
