Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
The same for me:

I like a lot how Yafaray light goes to the "left" side of the picture, it is really close to what happens in real life, and ambient light is very nice. On the other side lights allaround seem way better with enkyo plugin, I don't know if it depends with the usage of PVR light panels or it is something other. In top right the cube light is very nice with enkyo plugin, but behaves bad on YafaRay.
It's very exciting as a new plugin and maybe enkyo can make a PVR-YafaRay plugin that is fast and nice!!!

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Great idea!! Thank you very much.
Unfortunately the plug-in crashes on every file I tried. - - System: Windows Pro 10 64 bits, SH3D 6.2 with 8 GB memory allowance
I'm happy t o report that under Ubuntu the plugin rune just fine. - - System: Ubuntu 18.04 64 bits, SH3D 6.2 with 2 GB memory allowance (installed from app store)
Does anyone know how I can change the memory allowance under Ubuntu?

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Hi,
Even on my new PC, this plug-in crashes down sh3d software ???
Sh3D disappears when I execute the plug-in… : in Q3 or Q4, with old or new file ! => except in Q1 and Q2.
Not ready yet for everybody. .

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Many thanks for your feedback, even if I hoped it would work better under Windows after all the energy I spent on resolving issues. On my side, the plug-in works with the installer of the free version of Sweet Home 3D under Windows 10, but not with the JAR executable version, the Microsoft Store version or under Windows 8.1. I fear that I pushed too far the ability to load DLLs on the fly under that system. I'll study possible other solutions. Anyway, I fixed the issue encountered by Cecilia (just a missing DLLs for older macOS versions) and released a Beta 2 available here.
About images posted by UbuntuBirdy and ndorigatti, I'm happy you succeeded to run the plug-in but comparing your results with the ones generated with enkonyito plug-in isn't really fair, since I just tried to adjust YafaRay settings to reproduce images generated by the default Photo creation tool of Sweet Home 3D! But surely, even on that side, there must be some remaining bugs.
To Windows users, could you check if the program fails even with an empty home or some available from the File > New from demo menu item? Thanks

Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
@Emmanuel - My pictures are absolutely no criticism to the plugin! In fact I'm happy to have it, even it does not work as expected. But it tells me SH3D is evolving and this is great! I had to present PVR pictures to show the missing ambient on the YafaRay rendering. I only want to show how it turns out on my system and perhaps to help you (or enko) to find bugs or missing or wrong settings or what else it can be. I'm so thankful for your work and I have a big smile in my face because you released this plugin, even if my trailer now has to proof its winter abilities...

@Emmanuel
Following your suggestion, I drew a simple room, with textured floor and walls, and two human figures. As before, SH3D crashed a few seconds after starting YafaRay.
