Actually I had to recompile once I got the new version of OpenEXR (which is used in Blender), I just forgot to upload the new version of Yafray. Sorry about that (I have been busy).

This should be it:

Please let me know if it still does not work!

Thanks,

Cool, thanks for that!

When using Blender to render a scene with the newly compiled yafray it does seem to work.
The only thing I noticed was that when the scene uses an HDMI environment map it doesn't show up in the render.
In the Blender scene however the map is clearly present and shows in the world material preview pane.

This could also be due to new setting variables in blender of which I'm not aware of .... yet...

Well... i own a small Indy, but this thing load in 2 secs and less ! shure ! Even on an Indy i can manage smaller objects and meshes with np and quite fast ! ... who optimised this thing done it like a pro ! regards ! off course rendering part on an Indy is not a song, but shure ppl with Octanes and on will get max. from this baby

...

Today i imported some dxf`s and played a little ... maybe will post some examples here if i will have time ... i never used blender before ... but this one rocks !!!

The problem with importing files, and missing file names is fixed, the libiconv problem is fixed too, but i get an warning window which say that i must adjust the path to $phython home, but i not know where to set it up ...

Actually 2.43 was also limited to 8 threads, I just upped the limit of what you could tell it to do (it could never actually do it though - too many core Blender modifications would be required).

Glad it is working so far, Irix is on the main download page now!

There's something wrong with Yafray ideed....
When I try to render the example cornell.blend I get the following error:
(This is not the complete output just the last few lines... )

Code:

  Using a world resolution of 0.000892857 per unit
  
  Rendering with 5 raydepth
  
  4 anti-alias passes and 4 minimum samples per pass, 16 samples total.
  
  Building bounding tree ... Object count= 4
  
  OK
  
  Light setup ...
  
  Setting up lights ...
  
  Yafray crashed
  
  Could not execute yafray. Is it in path?

Is this because of the new compile of Yafray?

I found out today that when you disable xml output in the Yafray renderoption tab in blender, it does work!
That is, it will render the cornell.blend testfile and makes it look very good ( as usual)

I also discovered that when rendering the same scene on a Macbook ( intell inside... ) it looks very different from the one I've rendered using an Octane2.
In my scene there's a moving object made of glass, and on the SGI it looks really realistic, but on
my Macbook it looks like the glass has a foggy texture.

Can anyone do a test with a Yafray render using blender on SGI and another platform and confirm this?

So although my SGI takes a whole lot longer to render then my OS-X machine I still prefer it cause the final result looks so much better !

Thank you Charles for keeping Blender alive for us geeks :wink:

Yeah, the XML button makes it write the data to a file instead of actually rendering immediately.

I tried the new update! It works fantastic, didn't have hte problems I had with 2.43.

Only thing left is I can't change the font for the text tool.

With version 2.44 I get more info in the command-line from yafray, why it's not using a background image.
Here's some of the output:

Code:

  Rendering with 8 raydepth
  
  4 anti-alias passes and 4 minimum samples per pass, 16 samples total.
  
  [Warning]: Background world_background does not exist
  
  Building bounding tree ... Object count= 15
  
  OK

Somehow it no longer seems to support HDRI images as a background .... !
The same scene worked just fine with version 2.42 ...... :shock:

Can someone confirm this ?

I tried this on my Octane2 with Irix 6.5.22 and I didn't have any problems rendering this.
Here's the final render :

And in order to try to keep this software alive for the Irix platform can anyon else give this render a try?

Alberto,
Welcome aboard. Read this topic: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13198&p=103798&hilit=llrint#p103798

Two more things.

1. Start a new topic.
2. Use the search, you will find things like the above.

Well, I need some help with compiling. I am coming across an instantiation loop that I cannot seem to get rid or, nor can I describe well enough the problem to the Blender group.

I have attached my Scons compile log, which includes all the errors.

I would really appreciate any help or insight!

Hi,

Does this help...?

C++ prelinker: error: instantiation loop in document:

Yeah, I already found those articles, thanks though.

I am running MipsPro 7.4.4 (I think, whatever the latest is), with all the current patches, and I am not using -Ofast or even -O3 (although I might try both to see if it changes how the problem pops up.)
