I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

    Appleseed’s got rather a ways to go, but it doesn’t “suck.”
    In any case, I’m just grateful for whatever progress they make.
    (Also, it’s not a clean comparison to compare Appleseed to Redshift. Appleseed’s style is closer to Arnold than Redshift.)

Does it support light dispersion? Or is this at least on the roadmap?

@ilyak It doesn’t support light dispersion yet, but it will in a future version. It’s a very fitting feature since appleseed is capable of full spectral rendering. You can think of it as an open source alternative somewhere between Arnold and Maxwell.

Thanks for replying. That’s super exciting. I only wish there were more tutorials.

Hi Adam, we have a Vimeo channel (https://vimeo.com/appleseedhq) but we haven’t uploaded any new screencasts or tutorials yet.

You may want to think about making a youtube channel. At least with a YouTube channel, you could be making money from it to help fund development. You need over ten thousand views to apply for ads.

So get on it as fast as possible and make a posting schedule and calendar. Before someone else steals your thunder and dev money.

Love your work guys.
