YafaRay experimental v0.1.99-beta1 build Linux 32bit / 64bit

[David Bluecame]

Hello,

I've prepared an Experimental YafaRay version (I called it v0.1.99-beta1) with several changes respect to the current official YafaRay v0.1.5:

* Works with Blender 2.74 (official Linux download from Blender) in Linux 64bit and Linux 32bit (this build needs SSE2 capable processors)
* Fixes for Volumetrics (already merged in YafaRay source code). See: http://www.yafaray.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5036&start=15
* povmaniaco fix for Volumetrics when using SPPM (already merged in YafaRay source code). See:https://github.com/YafaRay/Core/commit/6f0fdafa4daf2469a020864ce3e7015459513314
* New Clay Material render system, more powerful (not yet merged in YafaRay source code). See: http://www.yafaray.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5079
* New Texture Mapping for Sigma factor of Oren-Nayar shader in Shiny Diffuse material (not yet merged in YafaRay source code). See:http://www.yafaray.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31037#p31037
* Fix for Inverted color when mapping Voronoi/Musgrave to diffuse color (not yet merged in YafaRay source code). See:http://www.yafaray.org/node/187
* Fix for Exception in yafaray-xml when using xstart/ystart different than zero. See: http://www.yafaray.org/node/597

The Linux 64bit build can be downloaded from:
https://github.com/DavidBluecame/Blender-Exporter/releases/download/v0.1.99-beta1/YafaRay.v0.1.99-beta1.2015-04-11.-.experimental.build.for.Blender.2.74.for.Linux.64bit.zip

The Linux 32bit (only processors with SSE2) build can be downloaded from:
https://github.com/DavidBluecame/Blender-Exporter/releases/download/v0.1.99-beta1/YafaRay.v0.1.99-beta1.2015-04-11.-.experimental.build.for.Blender.2.74.for.Linux.32bit.SSE2.zip

I've been working on the dependencies and libraries to avoid the traditional problems with libjpeg, etc, so I've changed the dependency system in the Exporter. To make this build as "distro-independent" as possible, I've tried to optimize it to match the official Blender.org Linux 64bit/32bit glib2.11 builds. Please test it to see if it works correctly without libpng, libjpeg, etc, or if it causes any new issues.

Please test it and let us know if it works for you or if you have any new issues or problems. If all works fine, perhaps these improvements will be included in the next official version of YafaRay.

If you are using the blender version from your distro repository and it has problems, please try installing this YafaRay builds on top of the official Blender 2.74 Linux download from their website (glib2.11 32bit or 64bit versions) as I adapted these builds for their official builds.

I hope it helps! Best regards. David.

will test as soon as possible thank you ! I will also write some documentation about how make use of the new clay render system and about mapping oren-nayar.

Hi, and thank you for the work you do all of them, are years that pass here from time to time, but there was never a version that would go with the latest version of Blender, now yes . I tried both the Linux version is 32bit and the 64bit. It seems to me that everything is working pretty well, only thing I can not find the parameters for setting the bidirectional integrator.

Hello,

About the time when YafaRay is not ready for the latest versions of Blender, sometimes Blender makes big changes to their interface with addons like YafaRay, and then it involves a lot of changes in the YafaRay side, and that takes time and effort. Let's hope they keep their API stable for a while so we can keep up

About the Bidirectional integrator, I cannot see any parameter in Blender-Exporter. Are you sure you had parameters to control it before? As far as I know, you control the samples by using the standard Anti-Aliasing panel: AA samples and AA passes.

I'm glad that it's working for you. Best regards!
