i am using blender 2.37
yafray 0.0.8
when i try to render with yafray the uv map doesnt show up, the bump map(normal map) does show up. Both show up when i use the internal render feature. what could be the problem and has anyone had this problem?
any help would be appreciated thanks
Make sure the UV map is .tga and in materials you have ‘TexFace’ selected.
all of the uv maps i use currently are all tga format
I never use TexFace button. It always works for me if wether I use it or not.
Anyhow. make sure that the UV button is pressed. And the COL button is pressed (Don’t use the COL if you are just using the UV as a Bump Map).
my mat settings
still not showing the maps
here is the character with blender internal.
here he is using yafray
the bumps show up
Add the textures to the material
and set the Map Input to UV.
Add New
Texture Type Image
Select An Existing Image
Map Input UV
You said you are using Blender 2.37
and YafRay 0.0.8.
Now there is Blender 2.37a
and YafRay 0.0.8-2
Did you test to see if this happens
all the time?
Try something simple like
texturing a cube with a colmap, normap and
specmap.
Does it work?
i will give that a shot and let you guys know if it works
upgraded to blender 2.37a and yafray 0.0.8-2, no change
attempting to render another object to see
applied a tga uvmap to a sphere no change.
nor works
ive been experimenting with this for a week still nothing
even went over to yafray and got nothing
http://yafray.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=451
any suggestions?
where can i host a .blend file for someone to take a look at?
does anyone have a .blend file that they know works that i can try to render on my machine?
that sounds frustrating, and i can relate. but, from the other thread, it sounds like the material is the problem. applying UV images is a bit too complicated IMO. verify that the correct image is applied in the UV window ( in face select mode, select the mapped faces. the image should match in the UV window ) then verify that you have the same image applied in the material textures. when editing images, i often find that one or the other is incorrect, so it is best to go back and update the image manually. hope this helps.

Here is a SAMPLE of UV that works in YafRay!
UVmap.zip 24.4kb
NOTE: If the page is “Not Found”, then click reload a few times, my server is sucking lately. Those darn ISP people at Verizon!
It is Packed, that means the TGA image file is imbeded into the Blend file. If you want to see the TGA file in photoshop (or any other program, you need to unpack the file contents). TexFace button is not use here, so why use it?
first off, thanks spin for the blend file.
i went to render the file and this is what i got.
according to the command line cube.tga not found.
tried to substitute my own tga file for the one missing from yours and i get the same thing
Hmmm…
Maybe I didn’t pack the TGA file correctly.
The TGA file is inlcuded here, use it in the Blende file.

thank you thank you thank you after 2 weeks of searching my problem is solved, the settings were all correct in blender, i verified that with the setting spin gave me.
the problem was within the tga format that i was using.
yafray works with a 24bit tga file not the 32 bit i was making in photoshop.
You probably won’t see this anymore, but just in case. That sounds really peculiar, this could have something to do with all the other people having similar problems with uv mapping.
First I ever hear of this though, never had any problems with 32 bit tga’s, which I assume contain an alpha channel(?).
Can you or anyone else post an example of this particular tga type created with photoshop?
not sure if this will work, my browser would not display it, but i made a test file in photoshop, and i got the same result. yafray will not render it at 32 bit.

Well, don’t know what you did, but I had no problems getting it to render in yafray. So either you forgot something or this is yet another weird platform specific thing.
Though the yafray output as posted by rexprime on the yafray forum did indicate that there were shader name duplicates, making yafray ignore the assigned texture.
So the problem might in fact still be something else and have nothing to do with this, still can’t say what it is exactly without seeing an actual blendfile.
in the yafray forum the several parts of the model used the same texture/map
so i tried one object(uvsphere) and one texture and it still didnt render with the 32 bit tga no duplicate errors. the moment i tried 24 it worked. with no duplicate issues.
