Photo-video rendering plug-in

[Xiste]

Problem partly solved, in my case. I did another try, downloaded and followed instructions and opened it. No problem. Everything works with Catalina. The only thing I did different was to open SH3D before moving it to the applications folder.

But the main problem still exist. Yafaray v 1.3 does not work on any other OSX version.

Sorry,
I was too quick about Catalina: Yafaray 1.3 worked once. After changing the xmx to 32g, it no longer works. Changing back does not help.
PVR 1.9 works perfect

...and YafaRay 1.3 does not work on my Mac 6.1 with Mojave 10.14.6

Which version of the YafaRay rendering plug-in works properly for you?

PVR1.9 works, so the version you used when creating PVR1.9 is the one working for me.

It seems like the trouble with yafaray 1.3 comes when increasing xmx memory.

PVR1.9 works, so the version you used when creating PVR1.9 is the one working for me.

The [font=courier new]PhotoVideoRendering-1.9[/font] plug-in uses the [font=courier new]YafarayRendering-1.0[/font] plug-in.

Does version 1.1 or 1.2 of the YafaRay plug-in work too?

I don't know. I only use PVR.
Where can I download them? It seems only 1.3 is available for download.

I have now tried all 3 versions with SH3D 6.0 6.1.2 and 6.3.
The only way I can render with yafaray is with PVR 1.9.

The logistic problem here is that there's no way of telling what version of yafaray is actually loaded, since it's only possible to replace the current version with the new,
and I have no way to verify that the replacement has actually taken place, and that no remnants from the other versions are left in some hidden cache or settings file.
This makes it impossible to get qualified results.

I'm really most happy with PVR 1.9 and SH3D 6.0. It's a stable combination for OSX 10.13.6.

You can also find here the direct download links for the YafarayRendering plug-in versions.
If several versions are installed, only the last one is taken into account.

Remember to install only one version at a time, removing the old one.
You can check the version in use in the "Plug-ins" section by clicking on "Help -> About... -> Libraries...".

Okay, so I have spotted one problem with my setup:
Whichever version I load of the yafaray renderer, the libraries only says yafaray 1.3 beta. This beta version is not among my downloaded files, so I have no idea where it has come from.

Now I have deleted all instances of SH3D and everything from the libraries, and reinstalled SH3D v 6.3.
With my configuration, Yafaray v 1.3 does not work. All the other versions work.
