Nice renders cjd2!

However, I would like to ask everyone participating in this thread to post if possible the scenes too. Use this free hosting service for instance: www.zshare.net

These are the test I'm doing about yaf(a)ray mapping for the users' guide. I have been experimenting with the mapping modes in the map input panel. One of the main conclusions is that cube mode does not work yet and textures are mapped in a different way in flat (textures half reduced) and in tube and sphere (textures are inverted). This happen in orco and global coord, wich are used for quick mapping with not particular attention to details (architectural vis, etc.)

This is what you get in Blender: Every object type is using its respective mapping mode (flat, cube, tube, sphere):

Using the very same scene, this is what you get with yaf(a)ray, check out the differences:

This is the blender/yaf(a)ray scene (remeber to unpack the file):

In green, the buttons supported in the 'map input' panel (at the moment):

I hope this info is useful to you

Well, I'm not good at all in official speeches (writes?), so I'll just say that I congratulate kronos for doing an amazing job in his rendering, say 'thank you' to all the participants for getting their entries in (which made me work harder on mine ) and to the Yaf(a)ray team for giving us such powerful tool.

And special thanks to one person that believed in me, while I didn't... Thank you Milka!

Looking forward to the next contest (with all the Yafray 0.0.9 goodness) and be sure I'll post some more work on this forum soon.

I'm very pleased how the W.I.P. threads idea has worked out, this idea will be definitely keep the next year, and the level is superior this year. The next year we should boost participation, there is still many people using yafray 0.0.9, we should get them in the boat ASAP.

platform is a Python module that the Yafaray script needs, but isn't able to load. First thing to check would be if you have a full Python install, and if so, which version. What OS are you on?

I assume you are using the old Blender-Yafaray build. Moreover - are you sure you've edited all your light sources in a Yafray export script?

Those "few hours" are getting quite long, if I might say so... Is it some way to build up the tension? Also - will you require some proof if the scene was made by that person or another, and what kind of if any?

Hello

I'm having the same problem as johnleigh earlier in this topic. All render are black with white background.

I suppose there's some settings in "Render->YafRay export 0.0.2".

But the problem is that when trying to access it, all I get is "Python script error: check console"

Then in console it reads:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 19, in <module>
ImportError: No module named platform

I tried to search forums for a solution for this but nothing found. Perhaps someone could help?

Thanks
