Inspiration

Being a pro 3d artist, I know the importance of preview renders for blocking out scenes or checking out texture highlights or material properties of the model.

What it does

It adds quick lighting to the blender scene to a selected object in a single click

How we built it

Using Python Scripts we created an addon which can be downloaded by anyone and used for their own projects.

Challenges we ran into

Learning how to code and script in Blender was a challenge since we have never tried creating our own addons before. Scripting in Blender Python API is actually much harder than we thought it was, however, we are proud of what we created now

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to create an addon that can be used by all Blender users and professional artists for speeding up their lighting and preview workflow. We are proud of giving something back to the community, which gave us so much.

What we learned

Scripting in Blender python API and anything is possible with a bit of persistence

What's next for Custom lighting

To add a lot of features like energy controls, temperature, intensity and contrast, and creating a professional setup with flares etc.
