TheBounty Renderer (rewrite for wxWidgets)

[povmaniac]

Dimitri/povmaniac,
There seems to be a bug in the version posted today. I have the same problem that nothing happens when I try to render.

Please.. Initiate Wings3d from the Erlang console and share the messages of error.
Apparently, in the version 1.5.1, the process in the Wings3dd console is not updated in real-time.

Edit: povmaniac, I forgot to mention that the "Browse" button under Plugin Preferences > Yafaray > Binarie Folder will not let you select a folder. It tries to force you to pick a file. I do not know the Erlang code to specify a folder. Should you call it "Program Folder" instead of "Binarie Folder" ???

You will have to write it manually. The button does not work.
I need to find the function for search folder instead search file.
Atm use: wings_job:browse_props()
Any idea..?

'You may need to manually copy the wpc_yafaray.beam file to C:\Program Files\wings3d_1.5.1\lib\wings-1.5.1\plugins\import_export

Make sure that an old copy of wpc_yafaray.beam does not appear under C:\Program Files\wings3d_1.5.1\lib\wings-1.5.1\plugins.'

Oort all those are done from the very beginning... but the problem remains.

As to the Erlang console etc... I am totally ignorant about those things, so I can not contribute with any related help. : - )

povmaniac,

Testing again this morning, I see that yesterdays build will render ok when Subsurface Scattering is not enabled. When Subsurface Scattering is enabled nothing happens in the console. The errors I was getting yesterday was because I did not notice that YafaRay was still trying to render SSS when I tried to start a new render. SSS is broken in yesterdays build...

Please.. Initiate Wings3d from the Erlang console and share the messages of error.
Apparently, in the version 1.5.1, the process in the Wings3dd console is not updated in real-time.

I am seeing the process in the Wings3d console updated in real-time when rendering. Except for when I try to use SSS... Below is what appears in the console. Then nothing else happens.

Also, have you changed some materials or other default settings? Now when I render a sphere with the default settings the object renders a bleached out white.

Dimitri,
Can you tell us if there is any information in the Wing3D console window when you try to render? Do you get any of the information below?

povmaniac,
For some reason clayMaterial is being assigned to the objects. That is probably why the objects are bleached out and SSS has stopped working.

[povmaniac]

Ohhh ..sorry!! I am make some test with Clay material.
The last exporter version with fix that error: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1684...yafaray.7z

[oort]

povmaniac,
Thanks! That fixed things for me. Now we just have to figure out why Dimitri cannot get YafaRay/TheBounty to work.

I noticed that under Material Properties it is listed as Thebounty Options. Should the b be a capital B?

[Dimitri]

Oort, I can not give any information about the console because the render command does not work altogetherly... when I do click to render, there happens nothing...

and what hapens if you start the dialog first? (the RMB on the render menu)

Dimitri,
Are you sure that you have "c:\yafaray" (without quotes) entered correctly under Edit > Plugin Preferences > TheBounty? If this line is empty or quotes are used nothing will happen and you cannot access the Render Settings Dialog.

P.S. Are you sure that you have yafaray installed in c:\yafaray. I think it can be different but make sure you are specifying the right location.

I have posted an updated tar file on my website.
