hi…a few yafray questions:

1.what would be the best setting for a nice glass material?

2.does yafray handle different materials applied to a single mesh?if yes then what is the procedure?

3.can the amount of transparency,reflectivity or specularity etc. can be changed in yafray exporter’s material settings?if yes then how?

4.how to add a shadow-mapped light in between a few raytraced ones in yafray?

thanx…that’s all i remember for now! %|

I think all you above questions can be answered at the Yafray site -> www.yafray.org in the forum there.

Hexa-dB has done a nice tute and has some downloadable materials that can be imported into Yable for use. One of them is a very nice glass material.

  1. The shader <attribute>s:
&lt;color r="0.05" g="0.05" b="0.05" /&gt;
&lt;specular r="1.0" g="1.0" b="1.0" /&gt;
&lt;reflected r="0.1" g="0.1" b="0.1" /&gt;
&lt;transmited r="0.9" g="0.9" b="0.9" /&gt;
&lt;hard value = "35.0"/&gt;
&lt;IOR value = "1.54"/&gt;
&lt;min_refle value = "0.05"/&gt;

And for the mesh <attribute>s:

&lt;caus_tcolor r = "1.0" g = "1.0" b = "1.0"/&gt;
&lt;caus_rcolor r = "1.0" g = "1.0" b = "1.0"/&gt;

  1. Not sure, but I think you must asign each face a shader_name attribute

  2. cough try Bagisas (see my sig) cough

  3. Dunno.
