[Plugin] Light From Camera v2.4.0 (Patreon)

Place and aim lights from your camera's perspective. Instead of wrestling with Studio's gizmos to position and rotate lights, just look where you want the light to go and press a hotkey.

The problem

Positioning lights in Studio is tedious. You place a light, switch to its gizmo, drag it around, rotate it, switch back to the camera to check, go back to the light to adjust — over and over. It's especially painful with directional and spot lights where the angle matters.

The solution

Light From Camera lets you use your camera as a light placement tool. Look at your scene from the angle you want the light to come from, press a hotkey, and the light snaps to match. Position, rotation, or both — your choice.

Features

One-shot placement — snap a light's position, rotation, or both to your current camera with a single hotkey

Lock to Camera mode — lights follow your camera in real-time as you orbit and pan. Navigate freely to find the perfect angle, then confirm to place or press Escape to cancel and restore the original position

Live preview viewport — while locked, a picture-in-picture window shows your scene from your original viewpoint so you can see the lighting effect as you move. Includes post-processing (bloom, color grading, tonemapping) for accurate preview

Multi-light support — select multiple lights and move them all at once

Lock mode options — choose to track position only, rotation only, or both

Resizable and movable preview window

On-screen notifications for all actions

Fully configurable hotkeys

Default Controls
