Need your vote — what should I build next for Light Painter Add-on? 1️⃣ Smart Layers — non-destructive editing (Photoshop-style). Come back anytime to tweak the gradient, animate the gradient itself (noise, color, etc.) — not just transform/opacity. 2️⃣ New Line & Shape tools — polyline and other shapes, using SDF for true falloff over the shape. 3️⃣ Feather for Selection — adds falloff to the selection itself when you fill or paint over it. 4️⃣ Gobos & IES library — ready-to-use built-in library of gobos and IES profiles. Have a different idea? Drop it in the comments 👇

🔥 v1.1.0 is out — and I basically rebuilt the gradient system from scratch. Before: gradients had only 2 stops, and the workflow was kinda like: draw → undo → tweak → repeat. Now: everything's live before you apply. Move stops, add/remove them, change colors, tweak interpolation — all updates in real time. What's new: * Multi-stop gradients, full ColorRamp-style editing in the viewport. * Oval radials focal shift, no more perfect circles. * Mesh gradient — place points anywhere and blend between them. * Noise on every gradient, 7 types with proper controls. * Randomize button (colors / noise / layout / all) #b3d #blender #blender3d #blenderaddon #vfx

🚀 LightPainter 1.0.9 is out! What's new: * Reworked brush falloff logic — behavior across the Hardness range now feels much more distinct, especially along stroke edges, and closely matches Photoshop. * "Fill Color" now respects active selection — it'll fill only inside the selection. Previously the selection was ignored for this option. #b3d #blender3d #blenderaddon #lightpainter #3dlighting #cgi

Hey everyone! 👋 Working on a tutorial video for LightPainter — what's been the most confusing part for you so far? Drop it in the comments and I'll make sure to cover it!

Just dropped an update 1.0.7! Sorry to everyone who ran into these issues — here's what's fixed: ✅ Layer bug on Blender 5.x ✅ Invisible paint preview on some GPUs ✅ No more switching between Material/Rendered modes. Any other issues or ideas? I'd love to hear! 🙏

After 4 months of hard work, my Blender add-on is finally out of beta! Paint light directly in the viewport like you paint in Photoshop. No nodes, no wiring, no hassle. #blender #b3d
