WHen you press "start render" button (running guy), the window that appears have "Threads" as the last parameter. What a list you collect in here! :) Afaik, Kerkythea supports multi-thread.

These other projects deserve a first-citizenship status as much as Yafray--this is OSS, after all. Think about it. An open, advertised (in the blender site) and well-documented render API would only be fair where OSS is concerned, it would generate lots of new stuff for blender (with the side effect of publicity) and it would give users a few more real rendering options (let's be realistic. An export script for animations?) If there IS an open rendering API, then I stand corrected, but if you need to memorize the blender codebase before you can write an external renderer, then I stand by my observation.

Is it dead? I posted a bug report several months ago, and have had no reply. On top of that, I see no activity either. There are a bunch of things (mainly related to textures and lights) that don't translate correctly from Blender to Yafray, too. So, what about Yaffray? Is it dead?

I'm not sure if toxic is being much worked on these days, but still worth a try.

Pixie is a very impressive Renderman-compliant renderer (it has many of the features of PRMan) and is GPL'd, so you don't have to worry about "non-commercial use only" clauses, etc. The combination of Blender and a decent way to export materials, geometry, and animation to Pixie would be a good, free, cinema-quality solution. I like Blender's renderer, and it keeps getting better with each new version, but it can't currently match Renderman shaders. I'm hoping that the new node system and plans for using Python to program shaders will change all that in the future, though. I second that.
