Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Texturing Basic Seawater

When I render my objects, I'm getting the colors okay, but there is no texture being used. The preview display shows color and texture, but the view window, and the render window do not show texture.

Yafray and Yafaray
This tutorial is out of date because Yafray has been replaced with Yafaray (note additional 'a' after the 'f'). Unfortunately whilst Yafray could be integrated with Blender as an alternative rendering engine, the only way I have found to get Yafaray working with Blender 2.48a on Windows Vista was:

1. to download Yafaray and the QT libs from the Yafaray site,

2. ensuring Python 2.5.2 (and no other version) and MSVC++ 2005 SP1 were installed (as per instructions on Yafaray page),

3. load the Yafaray render script using the menu: Scripts->Render->YafaRay 0.0.3 Export (also installed in the Render menu according to instructions), and clicking on the big render button in the scripts window,

Unfortunately to render with Yafaray the scene materials need to be modified using the YafaRay 0.0.3 Export script settings - it will not use Blender materials. This puts the use of Yafaray outside the scope of tutorials at this level.

In short - use the Extra Practice tutorial at the bottom of the page instead.
