One of the most underrated topics in rendering. LIGHT. Very powerful plugin
This addon has revolutionized the way I work and has greatly increased the quality of my renderings, I use it along with the E-cycles addon, in my opinion it's a great combination.
I think the developer could have a blog or page to show buyers what news will come and improvements.
