Another Yafaray question - image background

[micheus]

Sorry for the delay.
I'm not the Yafaray expert (oort is the guy), so I had to check some code to be sure about what to answer you.

Another question: is it possible to render an object so it's visible, but does not interfere with lights or cast shadows?

I found there is no option related to shadows available in the plugin as well I found they was removed in 2015 by oort because it seems to not be supported in that time.

Then, I took a look at the libYafaray source code and found it supports information about cast or not cast shadows. So, now we need to add these properties back to the plugin and it should take a while for that. I contacted david.bluecame (Yafaray maintainer) just to be sure I'm not wrong and depending of his answer I should be making the changes soon. In this case, I will let you know when a plugin update will be available.
