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 capabilities "on demand". Blender 3D is YafaRay main host application at the moment. The YafaRay engine is released under the LGPL 2.1 license. You can download YafaRay binaries and the source code in the downloads section.

YafaRay 0.1.2 Beta 4 add-on for Blender 2.62 has been released. We have fixed the arealight bug that produced wrong reflections and rendering of the light itself. Apart from that, normal mapping has been fixed and there is a first implementation of border rendering. However, border rendering is not finished yet, so just be sure you don't cancel rendering when border rendering is enabled or either Blender will crash. Since the arealight bug is a critical one, we recommend immediate upgrade.

You can download the YafaRay add-on from here. Please report your bugs and findings on this thread. Regards.

First of all, for the first time it is going to be several topics to choose from and an animation category. Secondly, contestants' best work will make into a training DVD under a Creative Commons license. The sales of the contest DVD will be used to support the organisation of a YafaRay Code Sprint in the second half of 2012. For more information about the contest, take a look at the contest forum.
