Hi,
Does anybody know how to get particles to show up in a Yafray render? My particles don’t show up if I render to Yafray…
Thanks.

thats because yafray doesn’t have particles
If you check the supported features of yafray for the blender export, you’ll note particles is not one of them…
Does yafray even have anything like particles?
Well that stinks… I guess I will just have to stick with the inline renderer then. Are the developers currently working on an export to Yafray for particles, or is that not possible at all? Do any other raytracers offer particle support?
Thanks guys!
blenders raytracer supports particles…
lol… ok, I meant to say, do any external raytracers have particle support, i.e. POVRay, Aqsis, etc.?
skeletor: thats not true, particles won’t show up in reflections or refractions when using blenders raytracer
The best way would be to use duplivert on the particles with a plane, make the plane track to the camera and add a sphere blend to the plane.
The particles wont be great, but they will work reasonably.
how about compositing? render scene without particle in yafray, then particles only with alpha channel in blender. using the sequence window you can make a composition of the two renders.

Yes, that ought to work, but the particles still would not show up in reflections/refractions. I guess there is no perfect workaround for this until Blender and Yafray are perfectly integrated. Thanks for the replies!!
