    Description

    Hi

    Updated: Blender SVN from 08.12.07 / Yafaray has SunSky now 

    Updaters only need to exchange Blender + Python-script 

    This is an special Blender for the new Yaf(a)ray. (29.11.07) based on SVN-trunk.

    This means, all the newest stuff like New Particles / Mesh-Deform-Modifier / QMC-Sampling with AO / Glossy / Heatbones /

     Curves2Tree / etc. is all included too.

    -Build with Python 2.5

    - more info :http://wiki.yafray.org/bin/view.pl/UserDoc/YafaRay 

    - in UI material preview should work now !!!! ( 26.11.07 )

    - dupliverts and alt-D copied meshes works now ( 27.11.07 )

     

    Installation precedure:
    - Put blender-yafaray to your blender-folder ( where your "normal" blender resides )
    - Put yafaray_ui.py to you pythonscripts-folder
    - run the Yaf(a)Ray-Installer.mpkg, installs yafaray-xml in usr/local/bin, 2 libs in
    usr/local/lib and 22 texture-plugs in usr/local/lib/yafaray
    - run libpng installer, puts pnglibs to usr/local/libs ( needed )

    Old yafray will be not overwritten and is usable from nomal blender as usual !!!
    usr/local... is invisible by default, comand-shift-G: usr, to make it visible if you like to take a look inside

    Set render to yafray ( this uses yaf(a)ray now ) and call scripts/render/yafaray-export
    from the scriptswindow in blender. Here you tweak rendersettings, material, lights etc.
    Push preview to recalculate material-preview after changes. ( the sphere )
    Be aware you have to find good values for results, it´s different from old yafaray.

    Some more info:

    Please make a windows build, I'am impatient to see all those new features
    SHAK
    doesn't work.

    i had some problems to make run python script, but i resolved it.
    i'm going to make tests, thanks for the great job you've done !
    Jens
    Wondered anyway what problem you had, i tested it under OSX 10.4 + 10.5 o.k..
    You have to set material / lights etc. in the script. Colour, bump, mirror of texture-slot affects the renderresult, you have to set glossy/glas/shiny there. Be shure to read the linked doku, it will help you much.

    Blender didn't recognize yafaray_ui.py, but now its fine. I very enjoy the new yaf(a)ray !
    is it possible to make run yaf(a)ray and Jakha's particles in the same build ?
    Jens
    @SHAK: The build includes JAHKA-particles, already, cause they are in trunk for a while !! Look into the physics, there you will find it. BTW: For development changes a lot these days, it is impossible to update every day or include all branches. I used a SVN from 26.11., this may be a bit unstable with New Particles. I will update from time to time, when yafaray and Blender got important development.
    SHAK
    i didn't have the very last build. i've just downloaded it, and its very very nice !…
    thanks again for all ! Great job !

    Will this build work without a full Python install? I'm still running OS X 10.4.11 and don't want to upgrade to Leopard or Python 2.5 yet.

    Thanks!
    Jens
    @bigkahuna: Python 2.5 is essential for this build. For 10.4.x you have to get and install it from python.org, cause it has the lower 2.3 only !!!! 10.5. has python 2.5.1 out of the box. But Blender will not even run without python, so why not get it ?

    I can't find the script in Blender. How do I run it?
    Spockless
    Ok, never mind. Got it to work

    It works fine, but when rendering with blender internal it often crashes, like 30% of the times. So when rendering an animation with 30 frames it will eventually crash. :S
    Chris
    Can somebody upload the contents as parts? I keep getting broken zip files, with only the blender.app, and imglib.pkg.

    I would be willing to host it too, for the rest who are getting the same fruitless resuls as I when downloading.

    First of all - GREAT THANKS!!!
    What about some new version?
    And ... can U compile some new yafAray for new blender 2.46?
