Hi exvion,

Thank you for your collaboration, this is a very cool project.

Hi.
I updated the exporter to the latest version yafaray http://github.com/DarkTide/YafaRay/tree ... f92b68d9ca
This week I'll post an alpha version of the exporter. I will be glad of assistance from people who know css and jquery.

Thank you exvion, thank you very much. I really look forward to your exporter and I think it will be a great success.

Thank you for this project and good luck

Hi Exvion,

This is a great work indeed!

I'm trying to set up a collada loader for yafaray; it is not exactly what you've done but there might be some common points.

It is still at a very early stage, but it can already render collada files without textures (and without lights, right now it uses an hdr texture in the background) with some manual tuning.

If anyone is interested in working on this, sources are available at http://github.com/williamleferrand/YafaRay , don't hesitate to get in touch !

All the best,

William

Hi.
I present you the result of my work. SU2YafaRay Plugin for Sketchup, which so far only works with a specially compiled version of YafaRay from github.


While you are testing, I'll be working on the editor settings and materials.

[william.le-ferrand]

Excellent, I'm testing it right now ! Congratulations !

Actually, I'm running macos and I don't see the sources anywhere on your website .. are they available for download ?

[exvion]

william.le-ferrand, sorry, incorrect link. One of the files are not downloaded. FIXED.

[william.le-ferrand]

Ok. Is it possible to create an XML file using your exporter ?

[diffid]

oh no! SU crashes outright when I hit the Yafaray render button in SU, any scene even just the little man. Bugsplat!

Windows XP Pro 32bit C++ & NET redistributables installed.

Downloaded and installed all files in above link.

I do have another Yafaray installed for use with Blender.

Any ideas. Crash with SU version 6, 7 & 7.1 just downloaded.

After a little investigation, trying to start yafaray-xml.exe in the 'YafaRay for Sketchup' folder gives error 126, unable to find yafraycore.dll, notice I put 'yafray' without the extra 'a'. I have a 'yafaraycore.dll' but no 'yafraycore.dll'.

william.le-ferrand, this possibility has been through one or two days.
diffid, thanks for bug report. I find error. A couple of days su2yafaray will work with the official release yafaray 0.1.2-beta1.
