Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
I've been meaning to try out the new Yafaray renderer (I would indeed _love_ to have a faster and better renderer!), yet I get an error message (copied below from console). It looks like it is missing the Boost library or something: do I need to install that separately? I'm sorry if I'm just stupid, but help would be appreciated :)

For reference, I use the jar version of SH3D (version 6.3), with -xmx set to 12G on macOS 10.13.6 with i7/16GB RAM, and Oracle Java 8 version 251. The plugin is installed in the proper ~/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/plugins folder.

The error message is this:
Exception in thread "pool-9-thread-1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /Users/Ghyslain/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/work/6000-17cdb366-9f24-4bf5-8aba-6846e7cd9d4b/dll3757081845916336443tmp/libyafaray_v3_core.dylib: dlopen(/Users/Ghyslain/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/work/6000-17cdb366-9f24-4bf5-8aba-6846e7cd9d4b/dll3757081845916336443tmp/libyafaray_v3_core.dylib, 1): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/libboost_system.dylib

Thanks in advance for the help!

P.S.: Since this happens to be my first post on this forum, let me just say to Emmanuel Puybaret and the other contributors of SH3D and its plugins that you guys are heros for the hobbyist architecture enthusiast that I am! Thanks for your hard work and dedication!
