Why does no one know how to make these lights in Blender? (Free download)

IES profiles are *so* last year; I found a way to make them yourself inside Blender. Why are IES profiles not ideal, what is the alternative, how to make beautiful shapes, what makes lights look more realistic, and how to take it past reality. I always appreciate feedback for my videos. Keep it nice and constructive. Download the node group for free here: 👉 Looking for the playlist?
