Oh wow - an image Yay !!

Summary:
  1. You have to have the right .beam file for your Wings3D version. Install it by dropping the beam file into the plugins/import_export folder inside Wings3D.
    • If the YafaRay entry does not appear in File/Render then you've got the wrong beam file.
    • Also make sure its YafaRay and not YafRay! (YafRay is older and deprecated.)
  2. You can install the cut down version of Yafaray (typically 5MB instead of the full blender distro of 13MB). Install by unzipping.
  3. Disable Yafray and enable YafaRay in Edit/Plug-in Manager/Render tab
  4. In Edit/Plug-in Preferences/YafaRay:
    • select the location of yafaray-xml.exe using the Browse button.
    • add the following to the options menu (Alas you can't paste into the dialog Sad)
      -vl 0 -dp -pp c:/xxx/plugins
      where xxx is the directory location from the line above
      This disables verbose, tags your image, and tells YafaRay where the plugins are.
  5. You need to add an entry to the registry telling the system where YafaRay is:
    • Run regedit from start menu
    • Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
    • Add the Keys: "YafaRay Team"/"YafaRay" and a string "InstallDir" as shown here:
    • If you have a 64 bit machine you need to add the same entries again in the WOW6432Node - where you will see other 32 bit s/w you have installed.
    • Note that I have used the unzipped YafaRay folder name in full. Most people will rename the folder to "yafaray" and put the latest version in there as its released.
      I.e. C:\yafaray
