• Spectral Ray Tracing

  A great spectral ray tracing engine is LuxRender : https://luxcorerender.org/ Beyond the effects shown here, there are other benefits to spectral rendering - if done using light tracing, it allows you to change color, spectrum and intensity of light sources after the fact. It also makes indirect lighting much more accurate in many scenes. - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• The Apparent Simplicity of RGB Rendering

  Another one like this is (was? Not sure if it's maintained any more) Lux Render: https://luxcorerender.org/ I played my part in this back in the 2010s maintaining the blender integration, fun times :) But both the renderer and the integrations got pretty much entirely re-written in the move to GPU compute shortly after that time. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Appleseed – open-source, physically-based global illumination rendering engine

  My go-to for a pbrt-type renderer Lux[0] which ticks all the same boxes. If you're willing to go closed source then the standard used to be Maxwell Render, but I don't know if that's changed in the last couple of years. [0] https://luxcorerender.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Glass topology and caustics study

  I agree that Blender is probably limited here. Someone else suggested running the scene with LuxCore. It's been on my radar for a while, but I haven't had time to try it. If I find the time to use it for this scene, I'll come back and post a result for you. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apparently Blender doesn't see light as waves

  Might want to use something like this for these type of renders: https://luxcorerender.org/ Dunno if it works but think it will be closer than cycles. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ultra Librarian Joins Flux to Take the Hard Out of Hardware

  Having never heard of Ultra Librarian, I thought this was somehow related to https://justgetflux.com/ and that they'd made a switch from doing color changing to hardware. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Is it just me who dislikes the winter update with the change of colors?

  Reshade might help with the color tones. I normally use f.lux for Windows, but I don't know how much it might help. Could be worth trying, though. Source: 5 months ago

• Create a shortcut for even lower phone brightness

  This is good advice, but I prefer something that automatically dims and reduces blue light for me. That qay I don't have ro remember. f.lux on Windows and Mac, and Twilight on Android, are what work for me. https://justgetflux.com/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Blue-light glasses may not reduce eyestrain from screens, study says

  > I can't put nightmode in Windows too close to 100 percent (i put it between 50-65) because then the contrast is just too bad. I hate windows night mode. As soon as you go above "slight" (can't remember the numbers, I'm not a frequent windows user and don't have one handy to check) it gets a sickly yellow taint. Last I checked (2-3 years ago) macos's wasn't great either, although somewhat serviceable. You may... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How to sleep in extreme heat

  There is evidence that suggests that blue light from screens before bed time can impact your ability to fall sleep. Here are several more resources about this phenomenon. To counter this, there are apps for computers and phones that will change the colors of your screen depending on the time of day. A commonly used free program that does this is f.lux.
