# 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.

## Scripts

- `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
