Yafaray rendering error

[ekolis]

I got the Yafaray plugin installed, however when I try to render an object I get these messages:

The GetProcAddress error then repeats itself several dozen times And then more errors:

What could be going on here?

ekolis,
Did you define the plugins path? I see from your other post that you figured out how to define the location for the .exe file. You have to do the same similar thing for the plugins path. I think that is your problem but not sure. Be sure to read the "Help" in the "YafaRay Options" dialog box where you defined the location for the .exe file.

Oops! I misread plugins path as path to the executable; when I set it to the right path, it worked - thanks! Now I wonder why the materials I set up aren't rendering; everything's the same color....

ekolis,
You need to modify the YafaRay material settings (Edit Material) in the Outliner. After clicking Edit Material you will see a separate tab for YafaRay and also Pov-Ray, if you have configured the Pov-Ray plugin.

Be sure to click the Help buttons in the various dialog boxes. You will find important info there. There needs to be more Help buttons but what is there is important.
