Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
I've been using Yafaray since last summer, and overall I've had a good experience. However, I have three lingering issues, and I wondered if I'm just clueless on using the software properly (quite possible), or if they are the result of bugs.
Note: I typically use Yafaray at Level 4, with Photon, Lanczos and Shinydiffusemat, but I have seen the same issues with every setting I've tried.
Could you provide the link where to download this clock?1) First, I use some mantle clock furniture objects, and somehow whenever I render them with Yafaray, the clock face is missing,
This usually happens during indirect rendering (path tracing, photon mapping or sppm) with the YafaRay engine.2) Secondly, the lamps (from SH3D default furniture set) are lighting incorrectly; the light "shines through," even when the lighting is set at a low percentage intensity.
If your memory problem when rendering is similar to this one, you can create a bugs or feature requests ticket.3) Finaly, when using the Multiple photo rendering (v.2.1) plug-in, there seems to be some kind of memory management issue. The memory used by SH3D keeps getting larger with each render, usually leading to a crash when it goes above 200 GB or so, which is about 4-5 renders on a .sh3d file of about 1.75 GB. I can live with restarting the app every 4 renders, it's not a big deal, but I thought maybe it could be useful to report the problem here.
