Need help - how do I configure yafaray?

3rd time posting, my posts aren't going through.

I've searched for how to configure yafaray, but I can't find where the settings are. In particular, I'd like multiple bounces on the light rays.

There’s no easy way to configure the special settings of YafaRay renderer yet and you should choose the setting you want from the properties listed in YafarayRenderer.properties and set the Java properties at program launch.
If you want change bounces, you’ll have to set the properties [font=courier new]com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.YafarayRenderer.highQuality.diffusedBounces[/font] and probably [font=courier new]com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.YafarayRenderer.highQuality.lightingMethod[/font],
for example with Java options

Code: Select all

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.YafarayRenderer.highQuality.diffusedBounces=3 -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.YafarayRenderer.highQuality.lightingMethod=pathtracing

Setting these options depends on the operating system you use. Look at the FAQ about increasing memory to pick up the good option.

You're lucky, Enkonyito already added the new YafaRay settings in the new version 1.4 of his AdavancedSettingsPhotoRendering plug-in.
I will be easier to set them with this plug-in than manually editing the properties value.
