Live or Standalone

HDR Light Studio lets you create a custom HDRI map that perfectly lights your scene

This can be achieved via 2 different workflows, and depends on your 3D software

Live Workflow

Launch HDR Light Studio in Live mode from within your host 3D software.
See the HDR lighting/reflections interact with the materials in your host's interactive render preview.
Click directly on the rendered view to place and select your lights with native LightPaint support, or open the LiveLight view, and use the LightPaint on a loaded 3D model.
The HDR Light Studio project data is embedded in the host 3D scene, so lighting can be edited in the future.
A completed HDR lighting project is finally rendered as a hi-resolution HDRI file on disc that is then automatically referenced within the host.

Run HDR Light Studio and export your scene into its LiveLight viewport.
Use the LightPaint feature to position and select lights in the rendered view with instant feedback on illumination and reflections. It's a fast and precise way to light a scene.
Render your HDRI map and use it back in your 3D renderer for perfect lighting and reflections.
Save your HDR Light Studio project so you can edit this lighting design in the future.
