Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
@Puybaret I want to build a cloud render for SweetHome3DJS. Is it possible ? Do you have any suggest for that ?

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
That would be nice and surely possible smile

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Do you have ideas on how to get gray wall renderings to represent the true color it would have? I'm trying to see whether I'd like to have the lighter gray on my walls or the darker one, but the darker shades of gray get rendered way too light (if you ask me biggrin

).

Here are the walls pre-rendered:
Color L500 (RGB #A8AFB5):

and color S500 (RGB #757B81):

and their corresponding renderings:
L500:

S500:

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Try using textures of the desired colours instead of the colours themselves.

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Agree with Hansmex.

I used a site like this https://www.magasindepeinture.ch/en/ncs-color-chart-online.html to find the right color combo for my studio.
I sampled the color images, named them with the NCS code, applied them to my walls and made renderings. Having found the right ones, I gave the NCS code to the painters.

Perfect result.

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Plugin seems to crash on both macOS Intel and macOS M1 with 6.6. Home renders correctly with SunFlow but no matter what dimensions I use it starts rendering but then crashes. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
On Win10 my project has started to consistently crash Yafaray as well on memory access violation. The fault offset is constant.

Faulting application name: javaw.exe, version: 11.45.0.27, time stamp: 0x5fece988
Faulting module name: libyafaray_v3_core.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x60467f34
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0000000000030261
Faulting process ID: 0x435c
Faulting application start time: 0x01d8122ab1faf429
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\runtime\bin\javaw.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Users\xXxXxX\AppData\Local\Temp\dll567123420114771161tmp\libyafaray_v3_core.dll
Report ID: 9535d0e7-05fb-4e48-800f-197f25be59f9
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID:

Happens with both installer version and downloaded JAR on JDK-11 (not suprising, as it's the yafaray dll).

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Does this happen even with a very simple home (i.e. just 4 walls and floor), or is it specific to this file?
In the second case can you upload the file somewhere and share the link?

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
A minimal project renders fine, and even some close-ups in the failing model. I'll try to isolate the feature, then either create a sample or share the actual model.

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Found the issue. A seemingly innocent looking model of a Denon LP player downloaded as Collada file:

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/146e08...6a3/Denon-SL-7D-Turntable

Works almost OK with SunFlow, crashes YafaRay instantly. When I change "edge_color*" invisible in materials, it works.

The resulting non-crashing render does have some texture or surface clipping issues (and I've noticed it on many other models from 3dWareHouse as well).
