I have posted an updated version of the YafaRay plugin on my website.
I added Light Portal under Material Properties > YafaRay > Object Parameters > Object Type.
Assign the material to a plane and put the plane in front of a window to reduce rendering times for Photon Mapping and Pathtracing.
Leave "Photon Only" enabled in the Light Portal, for all lighting methods, or the render will fail.
Leave "Diffuse Photons and "Caustic Photons" disabled in the Light Portal, when using Photon Mapping Lighting method.
Enable "Diffuse Photons", in the Ambient light settings, when using an HDRI under Ambient Light, when using Photon Mapping Lighting method, or the render will fail.
At least that is what I have found, testing with a closed room with one window and lighting with an Ambient Light...
I think this is the last of the missing features for the YafaRay plugin. If not please let me know. If something is not working please let me know.
Edit: Tested and working with Wings3D 1.4.1 and 1.5.3 and 1.5.4
Thanks,
