IMPORTANT UPDATE! May 12 13, 2026



Tomorrow Today Last Wednesday, on the 13th of May, the manual Patrons group (the one that gives you your green username AND access to dedicated Patrons spaces on WSL) will be has been DELETED.

This means that your access to those spaces will be has been revoked until you connect your Patreon account to WSL using the link below, which will give you access to the NEW, future-proof Patrons+++ group.

With the imminent release of ZEPPO BETA 2 - tentatively planned for released Friday today yesterday (!!) - I wouldn't dawdle... with Beta 2 (i.e. all my late nights in the past month), Zeppo has become something truly special, battle-tested and multi-user hardened in an actual production.

Yes, there will be a Reactor release eventually, and no, it won't have all the bells and whistles - those are for Patrons, because they are the ones keeping WSL afloat, which is still only barely these days...

I'd better get back to prepping that done did release then!

Thank you,

Pieter

There are a couple of amazing resources for Gaffer:
Ezequiel Mastrasso has really good pipeline examples as well as the amazing LDTGaffer extension

https://github.com/ezequielmastrasso/LD ... e2bdfb9a5e

Jakub Vondra has a couple of workflow utilities:
https://github.com/kubo-von/GafferHaven
https://github.com/kubo-von/GafferTools

Eric Mehl has an implementation for DEadline as a dispatcher (and of course ported gaffer to Windows so he knows his stuff):
https://github.com/ericmehl/GafferDeadline

Alex Fuller made a dispatcher for OpenCue (and implemented Cycles into Gaffer!):
https://github.com/boberfly/GafferOpenCue

Big Roy is making an implementation for OpenPype (Ayon):
https://github.com/ynput/OpenPype/pull/4267


If anyone knows about more resources it would be cool to post them here!

4 great tutorials by Xuan Prada, a lot of stuff has improved in terms of usability in the last 4 years but functionality is the same.
