Its been a while since I tried to render anything with yafray, but currently with Blender 2.37a, if I try to render anything with the internal yafray plugin, the resulting render screen stays black.
I’m using Gentoo Linux by the way.
If I activate the XML button, then the picture renders properly.
The strange thing is, if I watch the console window from which I started blender, then when rendering via yafray internal, the process seems to skip the whole gathering and refining process, but instead tries to immediatley execute the render pass.
If I activate the xml button, everything proceeds as it should.
Just to make sure that it wasnt my gentoo build of blender that was borked, I downloaded the official blender linux binaries, but no dice. Same results.
The strange thing is, is that on a friends gentoo installation, which was built with the same gcc and glibc versions as mine, blender with yafray internal works as it should. I even created a small scene on his computer and transferred it to mine. On his it renders properly, on mine it only shows a black image.
Im trying to rebuild both blender and yafray and their dependancies to see if that helps.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
UPDATE
Finished rebuilding Blender and Yafray with their dependencies, but still no change. I can only render via XML.
