# maya-light-rig (Authoring stage)

Standard lighting rigs (three-point, HDRI dome) and rig-level intensity

controls. Designed for fast scene illumination without manually wiring

- individual light nodes.

+ light nodes. `create_light` always returns both the transform and shape to

+ avoid Maya 2022 command return-value traps such as `cmds.directionalLight()`

+ returning a shape node.

## Scripts

+ - `create_light` — Create one typed light and return transform + shape

- `create_three_point_rig` — Create a standard key/fill/rim three-point light rig

- `create_hdri_dome` — Create a skydome/environment light from an HDR image

- `list_light_rigs` — List all lights grouped under rig transform nodes

- `set_light_rig_intensity` — Scale intensity of all lights within a named rig
