YafRay 0.0.9
YafRay - create fantastic images and animations of a photorealistic quality more>>
Blender 2.42 is out and YafRay needed to be updated for working with it.
So we have new YafRay release, about a year later of 0.0.8 version. In fact, this is a maintenance release with few (but important) changes.
Greatest change is the project manager ;-) because Mathias Wein, a.k.a. Lynx, is at the head of YafRay development. Good luck, Lynx and thank you for getting involved in this insane project!
Enhancements:
- New SAH-kdtree for mesh objects, which is hopefully mature now. Improvements include:
- Smaller memory footprint
- More robust traversal, so holes in meshes should be history
- Faster ray-scene-intersection (depending on scene) due to new building algorithm (surface area heuristic and triangle clipping, preparing scene can take a bit longer though)
- Image loading code is more careful when trying to load files with unknown extension (crash-fixes)
- Added -p command line option for Linux to specify an alternative plugin path when rendering XML (yafray executable), YafRay also prints used plugin path and number of plugins loaded to console now.
- Changing number of threads with blender plugin now takes effect without restarting blender (blender 2.42 and later only)
- Fixed some minor bugs, code cleanups/updates for newer compilers and build-environments

Roentgen Rx 0.5 is created as a useful application for those medical doctors who still cannot use a DICOM viewer for every exam but do not want to buy an ugly X-Ray Film Viewer / X-Ray ViewBox.
Basically with this program you will have a bright white monitor to use as a virtual X ray Viewbox. Of course you can have something similar using Powerpoint or Keynote to present a white slide and manually increasing brightness. But this program offers one click solution for white screen with full brightness.
