If we had a gallery I'd post this there (with no comments or ranking). I wanted to figure out the texturing methods so I made the wall, floor, table and globe using Rhino. The other stuff I had laying around (also Rhino). It was rendered in YafRay. I discovered that Blender does better Importing .vrml than .dxf. Maybe thats why its on the top of the list of choices. The light in YafRay was not bright enough. I know there are other ways to deal with this but for now what I did was select the light and duplicate it at the same location twice. One of them I turned off the shadows. Just another training aid. I'm going to reuse this as I learn Global Illumination so you'll be seeing it again.

this looks very good how long did it render? and why add a second lamp instead of upping the enery of the lamp?

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

The original image size was 1280x960 and I'd say it took one to two hours. I wasn't paying attention as I just started the render and went and did some other things. There are three lamps all set to the highest setting. For some reason YafRay needs more light .There is a setting for exposure and one for emitting power but I didn't want to figure these out for this, so I just added lights.

thats still a great image the low lighting gives a nice late in the evening effect

nice image but a bit too dark... try the gamma and exposure option of yafray to make it more brigt.

The darkness is an easy fix in your photo app. I'd like to know how you did it. Can you do a screen dump of your light setup and settings? I can't get a decent render out of Yafray, getting better results with Blender's internal renderer with the ambient occlusion function.

Interesting. I'll give it a whirl and hope for the best. Get home soon. I like Yafray's potential and need your help. :O)
