New YafaRay v3.2.0 released!

[David Bluecame]

Very interesting, a permission problem could be causing you all your problems. Try to remove all yafaray and the bounty folders from the Blender addons folder. If you cannot because of permission problems, try to do it as a Windows administrator.

Once physically removed, close and open Blender and go to user preferences, addons. At the bottom you wll see addons in yellow that are enabled but the files are missing. Disable them now there.

Afterwards download and install yafaray_v3 using blender

He vuelto a desinstalar e instalar yafaray y ahora creo que ha mejorado algo ya que el error no sale en rojo, como puedes ver en el pantallazo que te adjunto.

Please will you send me another screenshot from the terminal cmd now, after truçying to render?

Gracias por atender mi problema. ¿Sería mejor desinstalar blender y volver a instalarlo?
Te adjunto pantallazo.

Hello,

Please try this (as an admin)

Close Blender

Move the yafaray_v3 folder from the AddOns folder in the user roaming, etc, to C:\Program files\Blender, etc\addons

I'm starting to suspect two possible causes here:
A) the tilde in your user last name
B) or perhaps you have other YafaRay versions or The Boumty in the progeam files\blender, etc\addons foldrt

I hope this helps, going to bed now, very tired...

Gracias David:

Ha funcionado o al menos me renderiza el cubo. Cosa que antes no pasaba.
Ahora toca aprender a utilizarlo, mas que nada para ver si los render salen mejor que en cycles.

De nuevo gracias por tu tiempo.

[David Bluecame]

Great, bien hecho!

Hi David,

Any news about development? Are you going fine with the new material shaders?

Look at Blender's principled node.

Hello,

Unfortunately I have been extremely busy at work over the last months so I could not dedicate time to YafaRay lately.

About materials, from what Ive investigated so far it is very difficult for me to understand how the materials/integrators math works in YafaRay, much less to fix it. So Im becoming more and more convinced I might have to rewrite most of the rendering/integration codev

Now Im waiting to see whether we can/should change the YafaRay license to LGPLv3 so we can use Disney BRDF code and perhaps replace the rendering core code by Intel Embree (only a maybe!)

Once we have an answer about the license and I have a clearer view of the path forward I expect to become more active again...
