Free HDRI packs

My tools

Third-party addons I use

POLYDOME

HDRI dome plugin for Blender. Drag & drop HDRIs, automatic floor matching, reflections, procedural puddles.

The most intuitive HDRI environment tool I've used. From my experience, it's the best addon in this niche — nothing else handles HDRI environments as well. Both Light Wrangler and Snapshot integrate with it natively.

Lens Sim

Render with real-world lenses in Cycles. 80+ lenses modeled from optical patents — chromatic aberration, bokeh, distortion, tilt-shift, all physically accurate.

An endless source of creative inspiration. Being able to use real-life lenses in a 3D workflow brings a missing layer of realism to every scene. There's nothing else like it.

QOL Tools Full Collection

20+ small, focused addons that each do one thing well. Selection bookmarks, camera bookmarks, booleans, HUD dimensions, ground placement, and more.

A well-thought-out collection from a fellow Blender developer who builds tools to solve his own problems first — not to sell something. That approach is why they work so well. Buy the collection once, all future additions are free.

Light Painter

A layered approach to lighting in Blender. Stack textures, gobos, gradients, and brush masks on a single light — with blend modes, per-layer undo, A/B duplication, and independent animation per layer.

A genuinely innovative tool. Once the layer-based workflow clicks, it gives you a level of granular control over scene lighting that's hard to get any other way.
