Hi Blender community,
I’m Roland, a lighting artist and Blender pipeline tool developer. I’m also the creator of the Industrial-series Blender add-ons, including Industrial AOV Connector.
After around five months of spare-time development, I’m finally ready to share a project I have been working on:
Industrial CG Platform
Industrial CG Platform is a production-oriented Blender distribution tailored for advanced VFX pipelines.
It is the next step in the same direction as my previous Industrial-series tools.
Industrial AOV Connector helped organize Blender’s existing render data.
But some VFX workflows need more than better output organization — they need source-level control over how render data is generated, structured, and written.
That is why Industrial CG Platform exists as a Blender-based branch.
Current production-focused features include:
- Deep EXR output
The first Deep EXR workflow I have brought into Blender.
- Lightgroup split and Light AOV workflows in Cycles
Including lightgroup workflows that can be split into material passes for finer compositing control.
- Cycles light and world shadow color controls
For stylized lighting, shot-specific shadow tuning, and more flexible art direction.
- Bundled bQt runtime integration
A bundled Qt-based runtime layer for pipeline-facing Blender tools.
- More features under active development
The goal is simple:
Make Blender more practical for VFX shot production.
This is not about replacing Blender.
Blender is the foundation.
Industrial CG Platform is built from Blender for lighting artists, compositors, TDs, and small studios who want to push Blender deeper into real shot workflows.

Industrial CG Platform is an independent project derived from Blender.
I would love to hear feedback from Blender users working in lighting, compositing, rendering, and pipeline development.
