YafaRay Crash Course - available in several languages

[Samo]

Perspective machine by Albrecht Dürer, The Painter's Manual, 1525

This is the material support of the crash course on YafaRay I did three weeks ago in Murcia, Spain.

• PDF slides, English version.
• Diapositivas en PDF, versión en Español.
• PDF slides, French version. (thanks to Photonox)
• PDF slides, Chinese version. (thanks to Lee aka TK)
• PDF slides, Italian version. (thanks to MarcoA)

• Practice files / Ficheros de prácticas
• Source document, OpenOffice, English version.

I have included some practical comments about different questions you won't be able to find in the User Guide, so please take a look at it. It can be used as a quick introduction to YafaRay and general raytracing theory. It could be useful as well for teachers preparing lessons about raytracing and for lecturers in local users groups.

Plenty of useful informations.
Thanks a lot for those who can't be there.

Wow, I just quickly looked through the PDF, this is a very nice guide about all those important raytracing techniques, all in one document with nice pictures! Thank you so much for making it avaliable, Samo, much appreciated!

Looking forward to some quiet time going through the guide and trying to absorb as much as I can.

I'm looking for volunteers to translate this document into other languages. I'm particularly interested in major international languages such as Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, French and Standard Mandarin.

[Photonox]

If you want, I could try to work on the english to french translation (If nobody already does it).

Kind regards

Nicolas

[Photonox]

I finish a first shot of french translation.

I may be have to harmonise some part and term used, but if somebody speaking french want to have a look at this first try, I think it could be helpful to have an other view...

To harmonise and refined, I take too the spanish version, although i never learn spanish, but spanish and french language seems to have a relatively similar construct (and it's an occasion for me to learn spanish ).

I hope it's can be helpful for people who discover Yafaray.

I still have to define too some question about the document itself, and may be made some suggestion.

Kind regards

Nicolas

Hi guys,

I have added a translation into italian, made by MarcoA.

BTW, it would be great if you can announce these translations (and the practice files) in your respective's language forum (BlenderCN, BlenderPro, Blender Clan, Blender.it, Kino3D, Redbaron85, Niel, 3dPoder, etc)

and in that thing called facebook

thank you!

I'll do it!
Not to seem presumptuous, but you should update the news on the home page too.
