quick question: I want to just export my scene to yafray’s .xml format without starting the render - how do I do this?
Set YafRay to export on .xml by pressing the XML button in the YafRay tab, then start rendering. When it starts rendering, you have to close YafRay (under Windows, kill it from the Task Manager). The .xml file can be found in the folder specified in the User Preferences window in File Paths.
Thx - i’d forgot about that
Without going through the trouble of opening the Task Manager, selecting yafray.exe, clicking End Process and yes on the confirmation box, you could just go to the console window and press Ctrl+C, y and Enter.
