Anecdote

I just randomly re-found-out about YafRay as an external rendering option with Blender when I remembered something about the fact that YafRay can render caustics.

Unfortunately YafRay gives huge rendering times. For example today I rendered a scene with full GI with caustics and it took like almost an hour. I also found out that YafRay can do DOF.

I’m currently rendering a fluid simulation in Blender using YafRay with Medium quality GI. I decided not to try and use caustics as this would definately make render times shoot up! Currently it’s rendering at about 2.5 mins per frame or so.

UPDATE: I’ve now uploaded the video to Google videos:
