Blender Light Mixer add-on

💡 MK Light Mixer v6.0 — Real-Time Light Control for Blender Cycles

⚡ Mix, Tint & Solo Every Light in Your Scene — From One Panel!😩 The Old Way

Select light → Change energy → Render → Not right → Select another light → Change again → Render again → Tweak HDRI → Render again → Try different color → Render again...

Hours of back and forth. Just to get the mood right.

🚀 The MK Light Mixer Way

Scan → Build → Render → Adjust all lights in real-time from one panel. Done.

Every light. Every emission object. Every HDRI. All in one place.

✨ Key Features🎯 Full Light Control Panel

Every light source gets its own Intensity slider and Color picker — no need to hunt through the outliner. Adjust, compare, and fine-tune your lighting in seconds.

🔍 Smart Light Detection

Automatically detects all light sources in your scene:

💡 Scene Lights — Point, Area, Spot, Sun
🌍 HDRI / World Background — with one-click HDRI swap
🔴 Emission Materials — mesh objects that emit light
🔗 Instanced Lights — grouped by source, not duplicated
Even handles linked & collection-instanced objects!

🎨 Per-Light Color Tinting

Add a color tint to any light — warm up your key light, cool down the fill, tint the HDRI. All without touching the original light settings. Fully non-destructive.

🎬 Solo & Mute System

👁️ Enable/Disable — turn any light on or off instantly
⭐ Solo — isolate a single light to see its contribution alone
🎨 Color swatch visible in the list — see your tints at a glance
💾 Preset System — Save & Load Lighting Setups

Create different moods and switch between them in one click:

🌙 Night Lighting — dim, warm, moody
☀️ Day Lighting — bright, cool, natural
🎭 Dramatic — high contrast, colored
Save as many presets as you want. Load them instantly. Perfect for client revisions.

🖼️ HDRI Swap

Change your environment HDRI directly from the addon panel. No need to dig into World shader nodes. Just click Change HDRI and browse.

🔇 Smart Denoise

Built-in Compositor Denoise that actually works with Light Groups — the standard Cycles denoiser conflicts with Light Groups, but MK Light Mixer handles it automatically. Toggle on/off with one click.

⚡ One-Click Actions

🔄 Reset — restore all lights to default
🔌 All Off — turn everything off
1️⃣ All = 1 — set all intensities to 1.0
🎯 Render button — apply settings and render directly from the panel
🧠 Instance-Aware Grouping

Got 50 copies of the same lamp? MK Light Mixer groups them as one — because they share the same light data. Same for emission objects that share the same material. No clutter. No duplicates.

🔧 Node-Based & Non-Destructive

Under the hood, MK Light Mixer builds real compositor nodes — Value, Multiply, Color, Add — all connected properly. You can open the compositor and see exactly what's happening. Nothing hidden. Nothing hacky.
