The idea is to use a structure data to store each render settings. This way, we replace everything for that render (we can have only one default material per render app)

Sorry, I'm talking about the render's group-box (that one you shrink[-] and collapse[+]).

Quote:It makes it possible to copy the OpenGL color setting to the YafaRay options diffuse or other color setting with a single click.

Don't you think that also is easy if we use the pick color button (from the color dialog)? - despite the extra click, of course. I do that many times.

Quote:Which lights are causing a crash?

I checked it again and it's happening if I install the plugin for the 64bits version. In this case for Point light I get the message "plugin(s) left garbage: []" and for Area light I get a crash dump.
By removing the plugin it's all fine again.

Quote:... so that the glass has something to reflect.

I was expecting to see the light reflection. Looking carefully I realize that the Reflected Light property was set to 0.0 (its default) - shouldn't it be changed to 1.0 or 0.5, since glass uses to be reflective?

Just to illustrate, the reason why I was expecting see something is because - on POV-Ray - It uses the opacity settings. So for Wings3D material below I've set Opacity=0.02:


IMO, the spot light reflection on Ruby_Glass material should be visible for the other renders too.
