I downloaded this and I can't find it anywhere. The plugin is not in session, scene or person plugins. Your video Quality is hard to see.

I’m going to update the post with instructions later today.

To use this, add it as a scene plug in. That’s it.

You can keep your existing environment lighting or remove all and just use this plug in.

The main idea is this figures out lighting for you so you don’t have to mess around with placing lights in a scene ever again.
