description	Authoring stage — pre-configured lighting templates: three-point rigs, HDRI domes, individual lights, and rig-level intensity controls. Use when deploying a ready-made lighting setup or adding a typed light without falling back to raw Maya commands. Not for final render output — use maya-render for output settings.

maya-light-rig (Authoring stage)

Standard lighting rigs (three-point, HDRI dome) and rig-level intensity controls. Designed for fast scene illumination without manually wiring light nodes. create_light always returns both the transform and shape to avoid Maya 2022 command return-value traps such as cmds.directionalLight() returning a shape node.

Scripts

• create_light — Create one typed light and return transform + shape
• create_three_point_rig — Create a standard key/fill/rim three-point light rig
