HDR Light Studio 8.2.2 - New Blender Lighting Workflow Tutorial

Today (16 July 2024) Lightmap announces the immediate availability of HDR Light Studio 8.2.2. In this release, we have significantly improved the workflow in the Blender add-on, making it easier to use than ever.

In this tutorial video, you'll learn how to use the new workflow between HDR Light Studio 8.2.2 and Blender.

In HDR Light Studio 8.2.2, we've introduced a game-changing feature. The Blender Viewport can now be streamed into the HDR Light Studio interface, allowing you to use our powerful LightPaint tools directly on Blender's interactive render. This not only simplifies your workflow but also enhances your creative control, making your lighting design process more efficient and enjoyable.
