An experimental version of the next version of YafaRay was released back at the beginning of September, and among several bug fixes and improvements, a few features were added. And of course, some of those features will help a lot artists interested on the use of Blender 3D and YafaRay for architectural visualization. One of the features that caught my attention was the introduction of IES light sources as a way to give physical accuracy to lights in YafaRay.
