Qol Tools: Lightmare Fix
QOL Lightmare Fix
Now available as a Blender 4.2 EXTENSION format addon!
QOL Lightmare Fix is a one-click solution to reduce light clutter in CYCLES viewports.
When you're working in Blender CYCLES and you have a lot of lights, isn't this annoying?
Well, with one click (View Menu > QOL Lightmare Fix), you get rid of all the useless stalks and have a much cleaner viewport to work in.
To be fair, you don't neeed this addon. There's a trick where you can go into each light and edit the custom distance via toggle, but this addon does all that for you, and by default all lights at the same time. It's just a little Quality of life thing :)
The custom light distance Eeevee toggle has absolutely no use in CYCLES, yet it's still there to clutter the viewport. This addon simply removes those custom distances by reducing them to Zero. Even in Eevee, those toggles are used rarely, so perhaps you might find it usefull to toggle them off there too ?
