@Xtra, that sarcasm is not fun at all. Have you paid something? Have you ever done a donation for the software you use? Are you able to give your contribute to speed up development? I'm sure the answer to all these questions is "NO", so give us a favour: shut up ;-)

hi guys thanks for your kind words!

I hope this is the beginning of a new era for the yaf(a)ray project, and I hope it will be at least as good as the one we leave behind if not better.

First of all the yaf(a)ray project is alive thanks to some stubborn people, the bigest stubborn of them all is Mathias Wein, aka Lynx3D.

I would like to thank him for hosting his ideas and his project in the yafray.org comunity instead of starting a new project on his own.

And many thanks to the Blender Foundation, for this years of keeping the YafRay engine as an alternative for Blender users.

And many thanks to many people who has collaborated and keeps doing so: Jandro, eeshlo, Luis, Chronoh, pmartin, Cobas, ZoltanPL, Kam, Claws, oort, Xray, Jens Verwiebe and many others. We don't forget you!

And thanks to all yafray users.

speaking of Indigo, has anyone noticed the indigo website has been down for a while. I was hoping to download the latest version and some tutorials (I haven't used indigo in a while) and haven't been able to get on their site recently. Anywhere I can find the latest version somewhere other than the Indigo site?

This has been a really long awaited release. I guess the YAFRay team has been going through a lot to get the new version (or program) ready for release. Now if you'll all excuse me, I have some rendering to do.

I'm sorry Yafray but I can't do this again.

We said our goodbyes some 18 months ago…. and as you know there were many tears. But we parted our separate ways to never speak again. After a great deal of searching (and some no-strings-attached love on the side from BI) I found a new love… Indigo.

Sure it took us a while to sort our differences but now we are just great together.

Then out of the blue you come to steal me back again! This isn't fair Yafray, THIS ISN'T FAIR.

I think I'll wait until it is implemented in Blender, not in Python. NathanKP - Imagination Manifesto

OK… I've installed Yaf(a)ray and the QTLIBS package for Windows 32 bit. Now I'm trying to render with Yafray… does it just take a (really) long time? 'Cuz even a cube seems to be a black screen for an unbearably long time…
