HDRi Maker node setup

Substance Painter–style HDRI rotation

Rotate the HDR texture in the 3D viewport. Hold down the Shift key and the Right Mouse Button together, then drag left or right across the viewport. Dragging on empty space rotates the HDRI; dragging on objects moves the 3D cursor instead.

Uses the same mechanism as AIGODLIKE/hdr_rotation.

Supports viewport solid-view shadow rotation — concept taken from HDRi Rotator.

UI Location

3D Viewport → Sidebar (N) → Hdri Maker tab.

Basic Usage

HDRi Maker library panel
  1. Set your HDRI folder in the addon preferences (or panel, if exposed there).
  2. Open the Hdri Maker sidebar tab and click a thumbnail to apply it to the world.
  3. Adjust rotation/strength sliders to taste.
