Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
To fix the bug described in my previous message, David Bluecame recommended to try setting adv_auto_min_raydist_enabled or adv_auto_shadow_bias_enabled parameters to true and play with the values of adv_min_raydist_value and adv_shadow_bias_value.
Changing adv_min_raydist_value didn't have some effect but adv_shadow_bias_value did, the reason why I published the version 1.4.3 (there was only little feedback about it and I'm not sure it's the perfect solution).
Try to set adv_shadow_bias_value with a float or double value, not a boolean value. The fastest way to try some YafaRay parameters and get their type is to look at a XML YafaRay example like this one: bval is for boolean values, fval for float or double values, ival for integer values, sval for strings.
