I want to install the renderer Yafaray, installer understands only archives (gz, tar, tgz, beam) when installing such writes: File (the name of the plugin) do not any Wings patch or plug-in modules. Downloading from the official Yafaray website.
Hi
Towdy. Welcome to our community.
I think there is a misunderstanding here.
That installer option in
File menu is for plugins and patches - Wings3D code.
Wings3D already comes with the Yafaray plugin installed.
The Yafaray installer you got from the official website should be installed as usual. I saw the
latest version is available in .zip version. So, you just need to unpack the Yafaray files somewhere. The unpacked directory is named
yafaray_v3.
Then, you must to tell Wings3D where to find the
yafaray-xml.exe (assuming you are using Windows). You do that in the menu
Edit->
Plug-in Preferences->
Yafaray....
In the shown dialog, you must to inform the fields:
Executable and
Yafaray Plugin Path (usually something like
"C:\yafaray_v3\bin\yafaray-xml.exe" and
"C:\yafaray_v3\bin\yafaray-plugins", respectively) - use the
Browse buttons.
After that, you should be able to access the Yafaray options in Material and Light dialog as well as the
Render->
Yafaray... on the menu
File option.
Just in case...
There is two thread related to Yafaray where you can get some information as well as ask too:
Yafaray plugin and
YafaRay Rendering Software
Let me know if you still have any problem to get it working.
I understand the unpacked folder yafaray_v3 should be placed first in the plugins folder in Wings3D, otherwise I don't see Yafaray in edit>Plug-in preferences
Thank you, I've solved the problem by removing the Wings3D entry from the registry

Are you using other OS than Windows?
I don't know how it should work in any other, but I'm sure you don't need do this in order to get yafaray working with Wings3D.
In my PC the Yafaray is installed under "C:\Program Files\yafaray_3".
Anyway, good to know you solved your problem.
