Light Painter

Interactively add lights and shadows to your scenes. Draw where you want the light to affect, and Light Painter adds and places the light for you.

"[This] turns light design in Blender on its head: instead of manipulating the lights, you indicate how you want them to appear on your models by painting their influence. Very cool and innovative!" - BlenderNation
