Is it me or is setting up yafray unnecessarily complicated? I downloaded it and there’s all this crap about getting GUI’s and moving DLL’s and its like, how do I actually get to the part where I render something? And worse yet, you need two other programs besides Yafray to get it to work…what’s that all about?
Yafray
Yable
Bagisas
Python
etc. etc. etc…
Just seems like there needs to be something done to get this all straightened out thats all. Maybe someone needs to straighten me out…
Uhm well. Most people would assume that you had python installed already. If not, apt-get install python2 should do it 
And well, Blender doesn’t have an internal yafray exporter, and that’s a Good Thing ™… that’s what python is for.
And using the internal renderer is faster and cleaner anyway
apt-get install python2 eh? Do I do that at the windows Bash prompt??? lol. I’m on Windows Xp here…unfortunately it doesn’t have a package manager… ;D
Take a look at the Python&Plugins forum here at elysiun, especially this thread:https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7723. This will explain how to setup your Python (http://www.python.org) so that it will run inside blender. Then look here: http://www.d.umn.edu/~dhomich/training/yafray/blender2yafray.html (well you only need this link).
Bagisas is a standalone windows app, no python needed.
Thanks a lot for the links. I must say the website for downloading python is discouraging. I’ll see what I can do…
