Light Painter add-on - don't place your light, paint it!

Great addon, thank you !

btw Is/would be possible to lock an axis while painting-to obtain straight fixture/light source?

cheers,

Thank you! That’s a great idea, similar to how the knife tool constrains the axis I presume? I’ll add it as an issue on GitHub so I (or anyone else) can take a look into it.

Ok, thought if one paints a fixture it rarely happens to be an organic, freehand shape :wink:

1.2 is out! All tools have live preview and additional shortcuts to update as you paint. Also, Light Painter draws straight lines by default with mouse clicks, holding down draws squiggles :slight_smile:

Here’s the new promo:
