Hope this works - first post

Decided to see what I can do with Yafray. Used Extractor.

This was just gonna be a test, but I like the way it flows. Might try dressing it up some.

Thanks for the comments.
The streaky background thing is just an image I keep around for general texturing coolness. It’s a still of a Blender particle system with a high Blur Factor. Here’s a link, feel free to use if you like:

Particle Spray

I won’t go into how I did this with Extractor (the buttons are pretty clear), but the Yafray code for it looks like this:

&lt;background type="image" name="background" power="1.0"&gt;
	&lt;filename value="C:	errain1.tga"/&gt;
&lt;/background&gt;

Looks like it does some sort of spherical mapping.

Well, gonna take some time to work on this image some more. Later!

Whats this?! Someone gave a first try at Yafray without making tacky use of focal blur and reflections?! What a wonderful idea!

Nice render! Glad to see theres more people learning how to use Yafray. This sort of thing would make a cool wallpaper
