Hey - Mark from Lightmap here.
We’ve added V-Ray support to our Blender lighting add-on (HDR Light Studio). Live lighting in Blender, updating in the V-Ray render. Also covers Blender 5.2.
Built it because so many of you already use HDR Light Studio + V-Ray in Max/Maya, and we wanted the same pairing in Blender. Free Community Edition works too.

Happy to answer questions.

Mark
