MCP backend
Use when: Any lighting setup or modification in Blender. Includes HDRI/environment lighting and individual lamp placement.
Before the first Blender call, read ../text-to-blender/references/mcp-backends.md. Prefer official MCP for shared capabilities; preserve the selected backend for the whole task. Tool names in recipes are client/legacy examples: map them through that reference and its agent-host guide.
Blender Lighting
Light scenes the way pros do: with structure, intent, and physically reasonable values.
The five light types
| Type | Behavior | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| AREA | Light from a rectangular surface; soft shadows automatic | 80% of cases. Window, softbox, fluorescent panel |
| SUN | Parallel rays from "infinity" | Sunlight, moonlight, distant directional |
| POINT | Omnidirectional from a point | Bulbs, candles, small omnis |
| SPOT | Cone with falloff | Stage lights, headlights, focused beams |
| HDRI/World | 360° environment image | Realistic ambient, outdoor, product photography |
