Overview of HDR Light Studio for macOS

A high-quality lighting design is an essential ingredient in the best 3D renders. It is a powerful and intuitive software designed to help digital artists, photographers, and 3D designers create stunning high-dynamic range (HDR) lighting environments.

Features of HDR Light Studio for macOS

A user interface for 3D Lighting
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. You can 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
It is a seamless extension to your 3D software as you light the shot in the HDR Light Studio interface, and the plugin recreates 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 their surface. They illuminate and reflect specific parts of your scene.

When using Area Lights in HDR Light Studio, the plugin bundles 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 changes.

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 Environment
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 mix elements of different HDRI maps. HDR Light Studio gives you more control over image-based lighting in 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, use 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.

Select and Refine With Rigs
A Rig Preset provides a great starting point for your lighting design. Rigs are complete HDR Light Studio lighting designs that can be loaded and edited. A Rig offers the benefit of picking an HDRI map off the shelf but with the advantage of being fully editable to complement your scene.

Explore And Compare With Light Look
The lighting process is about creativity and experimentation. There are so many lighting decisions to make and so many different approaches you can try out. Light Looks allows you to easily save, compare, duplicate, and edit multiple lighting designs in a single HDR Light Studio project.

FAQs

Q: Plugin HDR Light Studio for professional 3D artists only?
A: No. HDR Light Studio's primary user base is professional 3D artists who produce high-quality 3D imagery. Professional 3D artists like HDR Light Studio because it provides a level of control they do not find in other lighting software. However, many novice 3D artists use HDR Light Studio, too, because it lets them easily light scenes by dragging and dropping lights onto the 3D model.

Q: Is HDR Light Studio for 'studio lighting' only?
A: HDR Light Studio is the market leader for lighting products, jewelry, packaging, and cars with its highly controllable studio light types. However, you can light any still or moving 3D imagery with HDR Light Studio. If you are lighting a scene using only an HDRI map, there are limitations on what is possible.
