YafaRay4tS Installation

If you have previously installed YafaRay4tS before, Uninstall YafaRay4tS from the Add & Remove program in the Windows Control Panel first!

1.) Extract All the files from the YafaRay4tSv075.zip. into a folder named YafaRay4tSv075

IE: C:\trueSpace761\YafaRay4tSv075

2.) Open trueSpace7.61 and from the Workspace's File menu, Load the YafaRay4tS_Installer.RsObj from where you extracted the files.

3.) From the YafaRay4tS Installer panel select the "Install" button.

You should see a tS761 Question message asking: "Your existing YafaRay4tS Libraries will be deleted and replaced with updated versions. Would you like to continue?", if not select your keyboard keys Alt + Tab to bring the message forward. Selecting "Yes" will start the installation and selecting "No" will cancel the installation." If you have any content saved in any of these three libraries, they will be deleted, so save anything you want into a different library.

4.) From the Stack/Panel - YafaRay4tS/Setup panel, Set the YafaRay Install Path to where you have installed the YafaRay render engine.

IE: C:\Program Files\YafaRay\yafaray-xml.exe

5.) Check the Yafaray 0.1.2 if you are using that version.

6.) Select the "Save Settings" button to save your directories into the default YafaRay4tS object.

7.) Position the YafaRay4tS toolbar and save your Layout.

Congratulations you've finished your YafaRay4tS setup!

Developer notes:

If you reset the Default Context you will have to install YafaRay4tS again.
Hair takes on the same Material as the base mesh it grows from.
There are 2 options for preparing an Character or a Skeletal mesh for rendering with Yafaray:
1. Apply a Morph then right click to immediately exit the tool.
2. Apply SDS to the mesh. The first SDS (Level 1) is the preferred method unless the mesh is already subdivided.
The SPPM Lighting is currently not working in Yafaray 0.1.2 beta.
The material texture map X Scale and Y Scale only works well for odd whole number values.
