Damn! Softbox A locator-driven studio lighting rig for Blender, with real 3D handles you can grab and move, not another static preset.

The problem Setting up product-render lighting in Blender means placing multiple lights and bounce/flag panels one by one, adjusting each manually, and starting from scratch on every new product. Most "studio setup" templates on the market are static scenes, you get one look, and customizing it means digging through the Outliner.

What Damn! Softbox does differently A single Empty controls your entire lighting rig: Key, Fill, Rim, plus Bounce and Flag panels through real 3D handles drawn directly in the viewport.

Core features:

7 independent arms (Key, Fill, Rim, Bounce L/R, Flag L/R), each with its own distance, rotation, color, size, and shadow controls UI Custom 3D viewport handles a first for this category of tool

Master Intensity one slider to balance overall exposure

Save/Load presets export your rig, reuse it across projects

Procedural background generator floor + curved wall cyclorama

Real Area Lights and Planes parent your own custom lights/panels if you want full manual control

Clean scene organization everything lives in a dedicated collection

Built by someone who's actually lit these shots 25+ years in VFX production (MPC, Jellyfish, Framestore, Walking The Dog, Rainbow CGI)

Blender 4.1 or newer (tested with 4.1 and 5.2)
