I made a tool for lighting artists

Hey,

Quick update: I just released Open Light, a free HDR light texture generator I've been working on.

It creates procedural light textures (softboxes, beauty dishes, gobos, Kino Flos, LED panels...) and exports them as 32-bit EXR files. 87 Lee/Rosco gels, ACEScg support, barn doors, grids, CRI simulation, and textures up to 4K. Everything is real-time.

I built it because I kept needing custom light textures for my work and couldn't find a good way to generate them quickly. Hopefully it's useful to you too.

It's free to download: borjarama.com/tools

Thanks for reading,

Borja
