Created by Anthony Cabula, IES Sculptor is a procedural IES light profile generator for artists who want full creative control over their light distribution. With IES Sculptor, you can create, preview, and export custom IES profiles directly in your browser, complete with real-time 2D and 3D visualization. Shape light beams intuitively using precise sliders for beam angle, softness, multiple beams, edge falloff, and procedural noise.
The tool is available as a Chrome extension, chosen by Anthony as the most convenient platform for users. You can download it here.
Anthony has several updates planned for the future. If you’re a Lighting Artist, we recommend checking out Arthur Tasquin’s article on the fundamentals of lighting science and the PBL Database plug-in for Unreal Engine 5:
