Add-on QLE (Quick Lighting Environment)
QLE (Quick Lighting Environment)

Adds a Basic Lighting Setup to Your Blender Scene.
Add-on by don1138
About What's New Reviews Version History
QLE in Blender UI Render with default settings

QLE is a Blender 4.2+ add-on that installs a panel named Quick Lighting Environment under Properties > Scene.


Click Add Environment to:

  • Create a World named "QLE World" with World > Surface strength set to 0.25 and a Blackbody value of 5454.
  • Create four positioned Area Lights with Blackbody values of 3800 (Area_Left, orange tint), 5454 (Area_Fill and Area_Back, equal energy), and 20,000 (Area_Right, blue tint, or at least as blue as a blackbody light gets).
  • Create an Empty named "Lights_Target" and connects all Lights to it with Track To Object Constraints.
  • Add a Mesh Object named "Backdrop".
  • If you disconnect/delete a Light, the Backdrop, or the Empty, clicking Add Environment re-inserts the missing object or constraint back into your scene.

Click Clear Environment to:

  • Purge QLE Lights, Backdrop, and Empty from scene, and reset the World from "QLE World" back to the original.
