What you need to know
Light Control is available for Blender 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0.
Known Issues
- Placing Lights (when creating them or using "Focus" or "Move") on an Instanced Object will ignore the Instance. (can be fixed through "Realizing" the Instance).
- The Light Control UI shows up in mutiple viewports, not only in the active one. (I am working on a fix for that)
You find any Bugs or Issues? Let me know and I will fix them asap :)
