Light Blender scenes professionally — three-point setups, HDRI environments, studio/cinematic/dramatic configurations, light groups, color temperature, soft vs hard shadows. Use whenever the user asks to "light the scene", "set up lighting", "make it look cinematic / dramatic / studio / outdoor / sunset", "add a key light", "use HDRI", or any lighting-related request. Make sure to use this skill even if the user does not say "light" — also covers "make it look professional", "studio shot…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Blender Lighting

Light scenes the way pros do: with structure, intent, and physically reasonable values.

## The five light types

| Type | Behavior | Use for |
|------|----------|---------|
| **AREA** | Light from a rectangular surface; soft shadows automatic | 80% of cases. Window, softbox, fluorescent panel |
| **SUN** | Parallel rays from "infinity" | Sunlight, moonlight, distant directional |
| **POINT** | Omnidirectional from a point | Bulbs, candles, small omnis |
| **SPOT** | Cone with falloff | Stage lights, headlights, focused beams |
| **HDRI/World** | 360° environment image | Realistic ambient, outdoor, product photography |

**Default rule**: Use **Area lights** for almost everything except the sun. Soft shadows come for free.

## Decision tree

```
What's the mood?
├── Studio / commercial → Three-point lighting (key+fill+rim) + HDRI fill 0.3
├── Outdoor / sunlit → Sun + HDRI sky environment
├── Indoor cinematic → Sun through window + HDRI low + practicals (lamps as Point)
├── Dramatic / noir → Single Spot at high angle, no fill
├── Stylized / cartoon → Three-point with high contrast + saturated key color

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-786/claude-3d-harness/blender-lighting@sha256:62e7c2ce61f97c0a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.d4bf893, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
