Drop Your 3D Model Into the Scene

Light Dropper’s flexibility doesn’t stop at our own interactive references. Upload your own 3D model and apply every lighting, color, and camera feature our tool offers to your custom work. Your model loads directly in your browser for your use only, and nothing is shared with other users.

Say you’ve built a detailed scene with custom posed models. Many tools handle the modeling but leave a lot to be desired when it comes to lighting control. This tool fills the gap other software leaves behind.

Here you can build truly custom lighting that gives your illustration realistic depth, shading, and color. Upload your 3D model or scene and study it with the full power of Light Dropper.
