    It doesn't work with blender 4.5. Pity... I used it a few years. Add-on is very good. I hope it will be fixed soon.

      We apologize for the delay, the addon v1.4.2 is now updated up through Blender 4.5 and we are working proactively to ensure Blender 5.0 is supported as well. We have rectified our QA process so we don’t overlook this in the future and can respond sooner to breaking changes with Blender updates. Thanks for your patience, and let us know if you run into any new issues.

    I dont want to give a bad review for a technical issue, as I enjoyed this product when it worked. But I requested support 2 months ago, and have not heard back. It is currently unusable for me. Please read your inbox on this site.

    Summary of my issue: Nodes are copied anytime I make a change to the skies. The changes are not applied. This means I can only use the HDR's in with the default settings, but cant change anything like rotation, brightness, or even the HDR's themselves.

    I used this addon a lot, but it is no longer compatible with Blender. I really wish there was an update for Blender 3.0....

    Does not work in 3.0 Keeps giving me and error about something in the addons folder of Blender Foundations. I followed the instructions in the .zip in the1.2.8 version, which is the last I have and they don't help.

    Blender 2.93. Mirror does not work. Adjusting any parameter will create a duplicate node in the node tree. If you go into the node tree you can adjust parameters on the actual nodes. Reported bugs two days ago. I have screenshots but have not successfully sent them to the creators. Wish they would post something to let us know what's up. I bought ultimate, which is probably the same as the other versions, just with more HDR images. 3 stars because I have Faith in The Blender Guru!

    So just to clear up everyone's uncertainty about this addon. When it works it's absolutely fantastic and an incredible solution. Let me qualify and explain what doesn't work.

    ****SUPPORT ISSUES****

    1. If you are planning on using this in anything after 2.91, don't buy it, this really only works properly on 2.91 and earlier. 2.92 has some bugs and errors generating in the Console, Horizon toggles seems to be buggy and causes crashing in 2.92, 2.93 Alpha won't even allow it to be enabled in the addons when trying to install.

    2. While Support is very friendly and concise, they are unbelievably slow in responding and resolving. To give you a situation. I asked support about how the horizon feature in 2.92 crashes Blender. They said they would look into it and come back with a possible resolution after their technicians would look into it. So that was February 26th 2021 and today is March 28th 2021, and no solution offered, no checking in to let the buyer know they are still working on it despite me sharing with them the issues and images of the errors generated in the console. Again, their pro lighting studio and skies support are just very slow in responding. Keep this in mind. They will reply to you within 3-4 days, that is my experience, and rarely have they contacted me with a resolution or update.

    3. No visible Discord or blender artists support pages offered. It strikes me as odd that one of the more expensive and well-known add-ons is not actively interacting with their clients. Other vendors for other addons are miles ahead in this area of support.

    4. No Changelog posted, self-explanatory.

    5. No visible update notifications, giving you a clear way of knowing when any change is upcoming.

    So Whatever Positive review as of March 28th, 2021 it will most certainly be by those who are using it on Blender 2.91.2 and earlier. Anything above that.... has not been properly adjusted yet.

    I love you Andrew Price, but man, get the support timelines dealt with or open a thread somewhere and interact with your clients. I understand you are now very, and deservedly successful, but I urge you to fix these issues and please clarify what does and does not work with your tools yet and provide please a tangible trajectory for any updates/fixes/limitations and known bugs for your addons.

    Great stuff, but I'm not too sure if this will ever be updated to 2.8. For the price, you'd expect it would be, but I haven't heard anything from Mr. Price about an update. If you are planning to stick with 2.7x, this is great. If not, you probably shouldn't buy this.

    This is a fantastic add-on which I have been using for many years. Unfortunately it looks like it is no longer supported and does not work in Blender 4.4. Its a shame because this was my go-to for most lighting. I am currently learning Python to try and fix it myself.

    This addon was so pertinent to my workflow that I find I am periodically coming back to check in as to whether or not it has been updated for 4.0. It has been quite some time since 4.0 came out with no updated rendition of this addon which is very disappointing. Please release the updated version and I will change my rating back to 5 stars.
