Rotate your HDRI or shadows directly from the viewport using your mouse (default keymap: CTRL + ALT + RMB). While similar tools exist, this extension stands out by supporting custom HDRIs and shadow control in Solid shading.

Note regarding custom HDRIs: note that this extension does NOT do any mapping setup, and assumes that your World HDRI is correctly setup (a mapping node must be connected to an image texture)

Rendered Shading

• if "Scene World" is disabled, it detects and controls the rotation of built-in Studio Lights (HDRIs accessible via the Viewport Shading panel).
• if "Scene World" is enabled, it detects custom HDRIs used in the Scene and controls their rotation by either detecting a global Rotation socket or directly handling the Z rotation in the Mapping node.* A mapping node must be present for the add-on to work.

Solid Shading

• if Shadows are enabled, the script allows you to control shadow direction by adjusting the light direction.

The keymap can be changed via the add-on preferences or in the main keymap menu.

*: tested with HDRIs manually imported from Polyhaven, or automatically imported via Polyhaven Asset Library and Blenderkit
