      Just remembered I never rated this addon so i came back to do so! Amazing addon that has grown quite a few features since I first downloaded. Amazing support too I contacted the dev with a crash I was having and he fixed it in the next update. Truly 11/10 addon its the favorite out of all I've tried.

      Pro tip! If you are like me and don't often use color temperature in renders and prefer a pure white light by default you can edit the nodegroups in "nodegroup.blend" file in AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\Light-Wrangler

      Fantastic! Worth every penny. It allows you to adjust your lights in real time, so you can see the results as you go. You can quickly explore all the possibilities for your scene in seconds.

      Thank you Leonid. This finally makes setting up lights fun. It is a very intuitive approach to lighting. Now I can't go back to pushing my glowing rectangles through space manually. The Gobos, HDRIs and IES add great value to the package.

      Some add-ons get thrown on the Market and then rarely, if ever, get improved upon by the developer. Not only is Light Wrangler AWESOME already but Mr. Altman seems to be constantly working to make it EVEN BETTER!
      He says he's dedicated to making it the ultimate lighting tool for the Blender community and I totally believe he means it.
      Well done :)

      I am so delighted to find this addon. I am a 20 year veteran of another 3D program that has shriveled on the vine. Made the jump to Blender and am loving it. But one thing I missed was the affordable HDR Light Studio extension my old program had. The Light Studio folks have jacked the price way too high for the current plugin version for Blender (and made it a subscription). I simply couldn't justify it. At first I spent some time with the Leo Moon addon, but the system is overly complicated.

      Your Light Wrangler is just the thing I've been looking for! All Blender-native area lights, color temp control and vignetting, and the intuitive point and click placement for both illumination AND reflections! Perfect lighting for product shots is now a cakewalk again!

      Well done, sir!
