Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
Might want to change this a little bit.
There is no mention of the Restore button.
Add another step?
Switch the main view to Workspace, select the Restore button, and close Protect Workspace before closing tS?
Maybe mention that Workspace's synchronization with Model does not work in trueSpace7.61 Beta 8
This could be why Model Mesh Processing makes tS unstable?
You do not mention that Model Processing needs to be checked when using Model Mesh Processing, if that is true.
Backup does not really prevent the above changes.Use the Backup button before opening a Model view to prevent item name changes, movement, material changes and camera and light attribute changes caused by Model view processes.

Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
Can you give more details about this?
Workspace's synchronization does not work?
Makes Model Mesh Processing tS unstable?
changed wording a bit and mentioned Restore button and model processing in the special mesh section
Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
Just my theory, that the lack of synchronization may be the cause of the instability. I posted about an error I received previously with your Hello World scene.

Started translating the help file to the web.

currently requires javascript to see the side bar navigation
Edit:
added links to the official yafaray docs and some render theory tutorial links

Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
Changes to the animation help
Model Processing - remove step 7
Don't get crashes when only using Model processing so no need to exit trueSpace
Model Mesh Processing - rearrange steps to exit trueSpace sooner
5.) When the render has completed, Exit trueSpace
6.) Open trueSpace
7.) Switch the main view to Workspace
8.) Select the Restore button
from yafaray page on my site fixed/changed
"exit trueSpace if Model Processing was active" to "exit trueSpace if Model Mesh Processing was active"
added link from yafaray page to the online help manual

Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
I will correct this info.
Are you okay with the additon of the YafaRay4tS Scene Utilities icon in the YafaRay4tS toolbar?
If so I was going to add info to the complied help file's YafaRay4tS User Interface including info on it's use.
The reason I added it is because I downloaded the YafaRay4tS scene from this link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160319000 ... nstall.zip
Warning, if you do and load this scene it will overwrite the toolbar (maybe other things too) and you will have to reinstall!!!
Since removing the YafaRay4tS Scene Utilities from the setup library there was no way you could update the scene.
There was one issue with the YafaRay Light Material(s) not updating to the new version.

Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
Been looking at a bunch of Model scn python scripts today.
Discovered you can open a Camera view from script, create objects, among several other interesting things.
Think I may have found a promising solution to the Model Mesh Processing without crashing trueSpace.
Instead of Assigning your script to the Scene, I Assigned it to the object that has the model animation.
In all my test including rendering in all 4 views in the 4View layout, I have had no crashes.
This is without removing the python script, switching back and forth from Workspace to Model, closing and reopening the same scene. Granted this is a small animation but just maybe it may be worth testing.

Re: YafaRay for trueSpace 2019
Niiiiccce! Verified, no crash if the python script is assigned to a scene item instead of the scene. Just have to update the instructions and warning popups.trueBlue wrote: ↑03 Nov 2019, 22:03 Been looking at a bunch of Model scn python scripts today.
