LIGHTSHAPER by Anthony Cabula: IES profiles, softbox light textures, procedural gobos and an LPE builder in a side panel. LIGHTSHAPER — Procedural Lighting Toolkit LIGHTSHAPER is a free procedural lighting toolkit for lighting artists, designers, and anyone passionate about light. Create, shape, and experiment with custom lighting tools directly in your browser, with no external software required. PROCEDURAL IES LIGHT PROFILES Designed for artists and lighting designers who want full creative control over their light distribution. Create, preview, and export custom IES profiles with real-time 2D and 3D visualisation. Shape your light beams using intuitive controls for beam angle, softness, multiple beams, edge falloff, asymmetry, and procedural noise. Build unique light distributions instead of relying on the same standard IES profiles. PROCEDURAL SOFTBOX DESIGNER Design your own softbox maps with procedural controls and resolutions up to 8K. Build complex lighting patterns by combining different light sources, grid patterns, veil folds, bump details, umbrella structures, custom shapes, light diffusion, and much more. Experiment with different combinations to create unique softbox maps tailored to your lighting needs. PROCEDURAL GOBO GENERATOR Create custom gobos using procedural noise and grid patterns, with 8 different noise algorithms to explore a wide range of patterns and effects. Fine-tune your designs with chromatic aberration controls and build natural-looking vegetation gobos using a dedicated leaves and branches system. Go beyond static patterns: generate and export animated caustics in PNG and EXR formats. LIGHT PATH EXPRESSION (LPE) GENERATOR No need to dig through documentation to build your own Light Path Expressions. LIGHTSHAPER gives you access to the available LPE components and combinations, making it easy to create and understand your own expressions without memorising complex syntax. Compatible with RenderMan, Arnold, and Karma. BUILT FOR CREATIVE LIGHTING Whether you're working in CG, VFX, architectural visualisation, game development, or real-time rendering, LIGHTSHAPER gives you the freedom to explore and create your own lighting tools. No external software. 100% free. No subscriptions. No data collected. Just creative control over light.
