I Cloned Higgsfield’s Relight feature in 2 Hours (Full Workflow)

Try the Relight workflows on Tein and relight your own video, free and open source: https://app.tein.ai/open-source/relight Join PublicAI, a free and open community where creative AI knowledge is shared in public: https://www.skool.com/publicai Open-source version of this workflow (GitHub, RunPod guide and the workflow JSON): https://github.com/sirioberati/relight-open-source Disclaimer: this video is not about discrediting or harming Higgsfield. Their engineers, and the way they design and run their workflows, are genuinely impressive, and that is exactly why I wanted to study this feature closely. I made this to learn from their work and to show what is possible with open tools. I have no access to their code or their backend, and everything you see here comes from my own reverse-engineering of what the feature produces. I saw Higgsfield's new relight feature in a video from my friend Rourke, and I reverse-engineered it in about two hours, without their prompts and without knowing anything about their backend. In this tutorial I show you the whole method: how his video works, how I pulled every look out of it, the light sphere trick, and the three tests in Seedance, including the two that failed. I made 67 presets from it (33 cinematic looks, 23 from his video and 11 neutral controls), and I show how to run them as workflows on Tein and deploy them as an API. At the end I share a fully open-source version built with Qwen, Qwen3-VL and MiniMax H3 that you can run on a rented GPU on RunPod. After watching you can relight any clip yourself, sell it as a feature, or build your own looks. You will learn⤵️ 1. How Higgsfield's relight feature works and what it needs from you: a reference picture and a sentence that says exactly what the light is 2. How to extract the lighting from a reference video and turn it into a light sphere 3. Why the light sphere trick works and how to read light, colour, softness and shadow from it 4. Why the first two Seedance tests fell short and what the third test changed 5. How to write the master prompt, and why the prompt has to describe the light as specifically as you can 6. How to use the 67 presets in the Tein workflows and deploy any look as an API for your apps or your clients 7. How to run the open-source version on RunPod with Qwen, Qwen3-VL and MiniMax H3, and what to check in the MiniMax H3 license before you sell anything 8. What to do tonight: take one of your own clips and one sphere from the presets and send them to Seedance with the master prompt Tools and workflows in this tutorial⤵️ 1.
