YafaRay is a free open-source raytracing engine. Raytracing is a rendering technique for generating realistic images by tracing the path of light through a 3D scene.
A render engine consists of a "faceless" computer program that interacts with a host 3D application to provide specific raytracing capabilties "on demand". Blender 3D is the host application of YafaRay.
YafaRay is released under the LGPL 2.1 license. Download YafaRay in the downloads section.
We have released a beta version of YafaRay 0.1.2, packed with lots of new features. Please help us to test it. We are also looking forward to your help to build YafaRay under different platforms and OS.
In this forum thread you can download it, find the list of new features of this release and report your bugs and suggestions to improve it. Thank you for using YafaRay!
The YafaRay Team.
Exvion has created an exporter to render Google SketchUp scenes with YafaRay. SketchUp is a 3D modeling program specially designed for architects, civil engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It also includes features to facilitate the placement of models in Google Earth. It is designed to be easier to use than other 3D CAD programs.
Exvion's work consist of a special built of YafaRay and a plug-in script for SketchUp. For more information, take a look at this forum thread.
From the 14th. of Juny till the 31st. of July, YafaRay users are encouraged to create a stunning image for our popular Annual Contest. The topic this year is Abandoned Classics.
We want people to evocatively depict remarkable objects and places not longer in use. We want classic items but showing the burden of time and use. With this exercise, we are looking forward to people using intensively YafaRay texturing capabilities to simulate weathering and volumetric capabilities to create dusty enviroments.
The prizes for the winner consist in a CG-education book or DVD and 1000 credits worth 90$ to render your works in Corefarm.

Hi there!
Fenard has launched a commercial version of his distributed rendering project for the YafaRay engine.
Corefarm.com (hosted at http://www.corefarm.com) is quite different from Corefarm.org. It's a much more standard render farm but it is also a more powerful one, suitable for users that look for high performance rendering. Corefarm.com is in beta stage and Fenard is looking for testers. 50 credits are offered to previously registered corefarm.org users who want to test this new service. If you are interested drop an email at william@corefarm.com!
Best regards.
