Gaffer TD at Cinesite Montreal, Ezequiel Mastrasso, posts some free templates and example assets that you can use for Gaffer. You may already know about Gaffer, the free and open-source node-based app for look developers, lighters, and compositors. “Gaffer is the heart of studios like Cinesite, ImageImage, Trixter, just to name a few and a myriad of blockbuster films.

Think Katana, but… free,” Mastrasso says. “It comes out of the box with support for Arnold, and Appleseed, and In the last few months has seen a huge effort regarding UX, and productivity tools for lighting.”
