YafRay new version

Hi!

Good news, eeshlo implemented an hemilight and a sunlight, and I did some things too (like new photon based radiosity). All of course is experimental, play with it.

The models in the examples were extracted from blender (very crappy models, just for testing), there could be an usable export script one of these days

Check the site :

can you do a test for very high sample hemilight, with only one bounce? so we could see what the time would be?

mrmunkily · September 18, 2002, 12:49pm

wait is this just a simple

./configure
make
make install

or what?
i’m really bad at *nix

jandro · September 18, 2002, 1:17pm

jandro · September 18, 2002, 6:33pm

Wow I didn’t expect this publicity Very good. A good new: a friend of mine compiled yafray with cygwin, so we’ll put it for download soon.

is there a way to get my blender scene(textures and materials, no anim) into this wonderful renderer?

jandro · September 23, 2002, 10:40am

A windows binary and a frontend are available in the web for download. Thanks to Luis who compiled it using cygwin.

Grizzly69 · January 8, 2003, 5:26am

I go to the site and try to download the windows binaries zip. It says its not there. Where can I get the windows version?

Luis · January 8, 2003, 7:42am

Sorry, an human (me) error.

Though the link at news section was working, the link at downloads section not.

Now both links are working.

Thanks for the bug report.

is yafray made by blender users or is it just a random free renderer that has been adopted by blender users???

it looks nice

Hadj · January 8, 2003, 11:16pm

I’m curious as to Yafray’s capabilities. I was playing around with it yesterday. It’s very cool, and I’m amazed how rapidly it has come to this point.

Just for the heck of it, I was bringing up some old models/scenes, exporting with Yable (Yafray 0.0.3, Yable 0.0.2-9 - I know), and rendering in Yafray with a hemi light. On the bigger/more complex scenes, it seemed to throw an error while creating objects. Are there upper limits on vertices, faces or objects?

Keep up the great work!
