Feature Request: AI-Powered Automatic Dome Lighting in V-Ray

We are currently using V-Ray for Rhino together with HDR Light Studio from Lightmap. Since both tools are subscription-based, it is becoming difficult for a one-person business like ours to continue using multiple products.

It would be extremely helpful if V-Ray included an AI-powered dome-light feature that automatically analyzes the rendering subject and generates the optimal lighting setup.

During the automatic generation process, it would be ideal if several lighting variations (for example, for product evaluation, presentation visuals, etc.) were created so that the user can choose the most suitable one.

For automatic subject recognition, it would be great if categories such as plastic products, consumer electronics, automobiles, or architectural visualization could be detected — or alternatively, if the user could customize and fine-tune the generation parameters.

Furthermore, if background scenes could also be generated automatically — such as transparent background, studio-style, stylish interior, or everyday living environment — based on what is most appropriate for the subject, that would make the feature even more powerful.

If such a capability were available in V-Ray, HDR Light Studio would no longer be necessary for our workflow. We would greatly appreciate your consideration of this feature.

Thank you very much.
