Five presets
One click each. Your own presets stay in your Blender config and survive reinstalls.
![]() ClubEvery light on its own rhythm, at a club pace. |
![]() Hard StrobeFast, hard flashes at high power. |
![]() PulseA slow, soft pulse, every light together. |
![]() ChaseThe flash runs down the row. |
![]() RaveFast and wild, each light at its own speed. |
Together, random or a chase
Per-Light Variation sets how the lights relate.
![]() NoneEvery light flashes together. |
![]() RandomEach light gets its own offset; Scale spreads the speed. |
![]() SequentialThe offset steps along the selection, like a chase. |
Ready for production
Renders without the add-onIt leaves nothing but standard F-curve modifiers on the lights' power. |
Fades in and outLimit to Frame Range keeps the strobe inside a range, with fades. |
Clear puts it backClear returns every light to its original power. |
Strobe Studio or stock Blender
Strobe Studio doesn't add a light type: it animates the power of the lights you have.
| Task | Stock Blender | With Strobe Studio |
|---|---|---|
| One strobing light | A keyframe, a Noise modifier, a Limits modifier, tuned by eye | Select it, click Apply |
| Twenty lights that don't flash together | Twenty setups, each with its own offset | Per-Light Variation: Random |
| A chase down a row | Offsets stepped by hand along the row | Sequential, or the Chase preset |
| Strobe in time with a track | Work out the noise scale from fps and BPM | BPM Sync: type the BPM |
