thanks for this build JesterKing!
Testing the latest Yafray integration is a real pleasure, especially now that we are able to stop and watch the progress of the rendering!
I've noticed the "dynamic" particles from Leon are implemented too, great.

One question: can yafray be transcoded into a Blender-specfied one? That is, we don't need the registry to locate Yafray. The path is set in the Blender User Preference Window (see below). When Yafray is called in Blender, Yafray itself load plugins and other data file from the same directory automatically.

ok...
after much fiddeling, and copying every DLL in the yafray directory to the blender directory, I've finally gotten it to do this much:

"
Starting scene conversion
Scene conversion done
Loading plugins ...
Registered arealight
Registered basicblocks
Registered basicshaders
Registered blendershaders "

then it stops, nothing more.

and Yes, I have unchecked xml

you have to replace the contents of the original yafray dir with the new ones (the one that comes with this blender build). i made the same mistake the first time

the first post in not 100% fool proof

hope that helps

I'm having the same problem as kencanvey. I've done everything that the orginal post tells me to do (put the installation over an already existing Blender installation, put the yafray files over the existing yafray installation, and disable the xml button). And yet it simply stops doing anything once it's "Registered blendershaders".

----edit----
I just realized that I don't have the latest Yafray installed. I'll try that, and see if that fixes things.

----edit----
Nope, no luck. I installed the newest version of Yafray, and then re-did all of the installation instructions in the original post, and it still freezes on "Registered blendershaders".
I'm using Windows XP, by the way.

I did copy the files over....

oh well, Yafray is to slow anyway...

Same problem here, hangs hard at the blendershaders.

works okay on a single cube + pointlight though. too abd that's not what I was aiming for.

I did everything in the first post, but blender still comes up with an error message that it can't find cygwin1.dll.

Are particles now supported in yafray?

When I copy all the files in my yafray directory in the blender dir everything works just fine.
