Blender – Gaffer is a new Blender tool developed by Greg Zaal that attempts to simplify lighting for artists. It features a simple lighting interface that allows quick access to essential lamp parameters, making tweaking and testing easier.

Greg Zaal – Gaffer Features

• Solo Mode: The ability to see the result of lighting with just one light can be used to evaluate the light’s performance independently.
• Powerful HDRI Management: With just a few clicks, you can change the scenery, modify the settings, and even download free environments.
• Visual Aids: Clarity for viewport and object lamp size so that the light’s behaviour is easily seen and understood.
