Particles and Yafray?

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

I can’t figure out how to get my particles static or otherwise to show up in yafray. I am pretty new to blender. Any tips?

I don’t think Yafray supports particles. (you can only do them in Blender internal)

This probably should be moved to another forum.
But to answer your question, it does support duplivert objects using particles though, with which you could try to emulate blender particles by parenting billboard planes with some alpha texture. Though this currently doesn’t work all that well because of the somewhat unstable alpha mapping in yafray which doesn’t always work.

Static particles for hair/fur do work without problems though.

Yeah, I got static working, thanks. As for the other way, I think I’m going to take the particle animation with blender internal against alpha and compositing it with the yafray animation in aftereffects.

F/Stop Digital,

the rule on BlenderArtists is for signatures to be three lines long at most. You can pm me for the address where to send the RAID array and the ATI.

Oh, and keep this : :stuck_out_tongue:
