I'm done. Should be fully functional now.

Changes:
more status line updates with 2 second delay before clearing
changed default animation name padding from 0 to 3
Render to file dialog
fixed crash bug - jscript file system object method was not returning a pure string, something else was added causing the plugin to crash if the filename was empty

TODO:
add other color picker options for lights
make yafaray sample scenes sharable - texture files are the issue
documentation

Brilliant!
Have wanted to do this for tS for a long time.
Experimented with several ideas, none that was as simple as this.
Never really understood the Pause Activity until now.
Guess the name eluded my understanding of it's use.
Do you think something like this would be usefull for tS, and would you use it if it was incorporated?
Was thinking about putting it into System.
Could be useful for widgets, buttons, help test, and scripts.

I found an improvement to the Render Object by adding these commands to the top of the Zoom 2 Selection script.

Code: Select all

//Default layout
WindowsManager.ActivateWorkWindow('/Project/Windows Manager Space/Frame Window/Border Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 2');
//Workspace layout
WindowsManager.ActivateWorkWindow('/Project/Windows Manager Space/Frame Window/Border Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1');
//Expanded layout
WindowsManager.ActivateWorkWindow('/Project/Windows Manager Space/Frame Window/Border Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 2/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 3/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1');
//4View layout
WindowsManager.ActivateWorkWindow('/Project/Windows Manager Space/Frame Window/Border Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 1/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 2/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 2/Split Docking Place/Frame Window, 2');

RsTool.ResetView('{2C152F81-45A2-4035-8896-9E49D60C8A7A}')
RsTool.LookAtSelection('{2C152F81-45A2-4035-8896-9E49D60C8A7A}')

Think if you add code for nothing selected/return and code for not object/return, it will much better.

Also got an error when using the Render Object icon when there is no YafaRaytS.RsObj in the scene.

GetRenderFile script
Default file name is 'yaf_test.png'
Yet the script uses Save as type: TGA
Suggesting that make PNG the first choice in your script.
Not sure what
var defExt = "tga"
does but does not do anything when changing it to "png"

Code: Select all

//	var filter = "TGA (*.tga)~*.tga~EXR (*.exr)~*.exr~HDR (*.hdr)~*.hdr~Jpeg (*.jpg)~*.jpg~PNG (*.png)~*.png~TIF (*.tif)~*.tif~All Files (*.*)~*.*~~";

Render Animation
Suggesting that you add the Set Timeline Range code to the Render Animation code.
Just do not understand why rendering beyond the last keyframe has any value, and as is, can produce potentially hundreds of unwanted still images.

If not maybe put a Status message about the Escape key

I wouldn't use it for everything. For instance if you do an animation and each frame takes a minute you only have those 2 seconds out of the minute to see what is happening, the other 58 seconds the status would be blank.

I copied the timeline code from the Anim tab, so I don't have the code here to alter the frame range based on keyframes.

Awesome Clinton, well except fot the trueBlue part.

Could this be more DRY like and condensed into one node?
Want to use this for tS lights too.
For YafaRay lights just need the Color Modifier and the Yafaray attributes in one script that could be exported out.
Super like how you moved the code out of the color picker to scripts.
I am all for removing my measely contributions.
What should be the Default bitmap for the Default aspect?
Can the Color aspect be removed? Meaning make Color2 into Color.
The only name I can come up with for the 24 bit png is "trueColor".
Not sure this is true or not given that it is inserted into a tS Bitmap Control.
I tried condensing the separate R G B script into one but got strange results.
Not a big deal but can the Color aspect Bitmap Control be square 216x216?

I'll see about cleaning it up so it's easier to add to other lights.
Luminosity will be the default
Will make 216x216. originally had it at 256x256 and popup panel. it worked in that the color changed but the panel itself refused to update. this was not an issue if the panel was dragged out of the panel view, so limitations on the simple copy for panels.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 24 Jun 2018, 00:59

Same problem I had with the Render to File

I have already started.
Deleted the Color aspect and renamed Color2 to Color.
Completed all the path changes except the Color Pickers for Color Picker2
Something is broken with that.

Code: Select all

Node.Value("%THIS_NAME%/Color Picker/UpdateColor", "c_red") = %COLOR_R%;
Node.Value("%THIS_NAME%/Color Picker/UpdateColor", "c_green") = %COLOR_G%;
Node.Value("%THIS_NAME%/Color Picker/UpdateColor", "c_blue") = %COLOR_B%;
Activity.Run("%THIS_NAME%/Color Picker/UpdateColor");

Seems right but have not figured out what it is.
Edit: I see the color picker updating the values, but still broken.
Has to be in the 3 scripts. Just realized that you created these bitmaps from script. Amazing!
Edit2: Think I know what the problem is comparing my version with your version. Thinking it is the path to the lum which is exported out to the front panel. So owner isn't working in my version because it is out one more layer. How do you get the owner's owner?
Not an easy thing to do.

I have everything inside the Color Picker

Thanks that was it.
Here is what I have.
Wanted to update the separate RGB inputs from the Color Pickers but there is an issue with converting to an Integer.

Code: Select all

Node.Value("%THIS_NAME%", "Red") =%COLOR_R%
Node.Value("%THIS_NAME%", "Green") =%COLOR_G%
Node.Value("%THIS_NAME%", "Blue") =%COLOR_B%

Changed Color Picker2 to Bitmap2
If you eliminate the 2 Bitmaps that I started out with, could cut the file size down by half.

Let me know if it is okay, and thanks again!

Testing your recent update.
Not sure what you saying here.
Discovered something else with the Animation.
Your RenderAnimation in the YafarayScripts has these two lines:

Code: Select all

Node.Value(Space.CurrentScene()+"/YafaRay4tS", "Start_Frame") = RsAnimPref.PlayRangeStart;
Node.Value(Space.CurrentScene()+"/YafaRay4tS", "End_Frame") = RsAnimPref.PlayRangeEnd;

This captures however many frames are in the tS timeline and enters that amount in the End_Frame.
I mentioned earlier that I thought that the code in the Set Timeline Range button could be used in the Render Animation button. This works if there is Keyframes but what I just discovered is it does not if there is no Keyframes.
Not sure what you purpose to do if anything.
just wanted to point out that whatever you do you should include:
1.) Render Animation icon
2.) Render Animmation button in the Anim aspect AND the Render to File - Render Animmation button
Also when you abort the Animation Rendering with the Escape key, there is a Status message left in the Status Line. IE: "Frame# 5 - Render complete"
Learning how to use your new tool...

Code: Select all

if(UserCancel()) {
System.Trace("DO CANCEL STUFF HERE");
Node.Value(owner + "/ActvLoop", "Current iteration") = Node.Value(owner + "/ActvLoop", "Iteration count") + 1;
Node.Value("/Status Line","Model") = "Render Aborted";
Activity.Run(Space.CurrentScene() + "/YafaRay4tS/ClearStatus");
return;
}

Also discovered some issues with the Render to File.
I will post about that later.

Yah! Almost perfect.
Can you do the same thing with the Lum?
What are your thoughts about eliminating the two Bitmaps?
Now that I see how you have done it, not sure if they have any value.

Lum updates now
Swapped position of Lum and Sat buttons
Removed 1 bitmap for slider

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 24 Jun 2018, 19:29

I have already updated 4 YafaRay lights with the previous updated light.
Is it safe to say that if I,
1.) Remove the LumBitmap and hookup the idColorData
2.) Add the UpdateFromRGB script
3.) Change the Enter button command to call the UpdateFromRGB script
4.) Copy and replace all code from the UpdateValue and UpdateColor
5.) Copy and replace code in both lum color pickers.

I would be good to go?

New Spot lights:

Edit: I have them updated and seems to be okay.
Except for the IES Spot. Ran into this issue when I was trying to condense the Number 2 Interger and the Color Format.
Notice the light leaking?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 24 Jun 2018, 22:22

Can you look at these lights in your library and tell me what you want?
Some have Samples, yet no Soft Shadows.
Some have special Power/Size.
Sun has not no shadow.
Blank areas are for Photon Only.
I have the Defaults for Caustic, Diffuse, and Photon Only.
Need the Defaults if any for the other ones.

Presently the Sun does not have anything for Shadows, it is a SunlightShader.

Whenever I see this, I make that the default

Code: Select all

Power = Power * 1.75;//match render 2018

I see Blender's Power is all 1.0
But you have also said anything under 5 is not good either.
Mostly I set them up as you have then in the library.
I will do the best I can and you can check it out.
Here is the YafaRay Sun and your YafaRay Spot_Dev4 that has been fixed.
The previous Bitmaps were being used and hooked up to the new ones in the middle.

I changed both light so that when switching the UpdateFromRGB script is run.
Activity.Run(System.ThisOwner() + "/UpdateFromRGB");
added to the bottom of the Bitmap2, Execute script
also found that the right click reset was not working. fixed by disconnecting and then exporting the connectors and then relinking them to the controls

Sun light didn't have script in the slider so copied the code from the spotlight slider

The light power settings are ok in most files, but I found one that was way off so I'll be going through the power settings for all lights again.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 25 Jun 2018, 22:03

Edit: I will upload the lights with their defaults fixed, as soon as I am done.
Fixed the defaults and added Activity.Run(System.ThisOwner() + "/UpdateFromRGB"); to Bitmap2
End Edit
Wonder why that happened, I basically created the Yafaray Helper from scratch and exported everything.

Edit2: Just tested the changes and they did not work! Saved the Lights.RsObj to the preobjects folder and Reset the Default Context. Now they worked. Updated the below to reflect this observation

Edit3: Just discovered the Spot lights did not have a required camera object in order for the View from light to work. Fixed and reuploaded.

Here is all of the YafaRay lights from System/Preferences/Lights.RsObj
I only updated the above.
I did not update the YafaRay Sun light at all. Given the changes that I do not understand and that there is no shadows.
I have made the Lum Color Picker a tad larger, vertically in the Default aspect
Word of caution, I edit the lights from the above path.
They are minimized just like the tS lights.
This makes them come in the Link Editor minimized.
They have been set to land on the grid just like the tS lights, so you should not change their Matrix and or ObjectMatrix.

I save the Light.RsObj to the preobjects folder and Reset the Default Context.
I test any changes using the YafaRay4tS toolbar.
You should save them to the YafaRay Lights library from the above path.

Also included is a scene with tS Spot lights with your color picker. I would appreciate it if you could take a peak at it with regards to the Color aspect. Trying to incorporate Intensity. Ugh, I can not come up with anything that looks good. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. The one on the far right is a YafaRay light used for No Intensity.

tS Spot lights.PNG

"Intensity at Top" makes the most sense to me.

"Intensity at Bottom" and "Intensity at Side w Scubbers2" separates the enter button from the red green blue values it uses.

"Intensity at Top w Scubbers" and "Intensity at Side w Scubbers" have 3 scrubber controls for 1 thing

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 26 Jun 2018, 05:44

The thing I do not like about the one on the Left is it is distracting when choosing a color.
It also seems out of place being in between the Luminance and RGB.
The reason for two scrubbers is to make it easier to get back to No Intensity = 1.000.
The present way it is with one scrubber is 0.000 - 20.000 and you have right click Reset to get No Intensity.
Not very fluid nor obvious.
Narrowed it down to two Intensity scrubbers, the one the left is set at 1.000 - 20.000 (No Intensity - Higher) and the one on the right is set at 0.000 - 1.000 (No Intensity - Lower).

I kind of like the new one on the Right.

BTW... I think you misunderstood me about the update for the Lum values.
The Lum in the tS Color is 0 - 240 verses 0.000 - 1.000
I was wonder if you could have match the tS Color.
No biggie what you have done is outstanding!

Does YafaRay recognize these attributes?
If not we should at least not show them and remove the aspects.

For the YafaRay Sphere adjust the size to Lat/Long = 20x20 and the Render attributes.

Could also do this for the other light shapes to differentiate from tS lights.

Also did a make over on the light icons.

I did a trial run with the HTML Help Workshop by making pictures of the new YafaRay4tS, Lights, and Light icons panels. Added them to the project's Images folder and edited the htm files for the new widths and heights. Compiled it. Still works in Win10.

Understood.
That post was edited all within 20 minutes. Figured that if you did not reply it was all good.
I would like to finish the YafaRay lights for you if that is what you want.
Per your post you mentioned that you need to adjust the Power settings, so I was trying to finalize the lights for you.
I have made the changes to the Sun light per your last update.
I am at a lost with regards to the Shadow which I posted about previously.

This is what I would like to do if you agree:
You need to post the Sun light first and or any other lights that you have changed, hopefully saved from the Lights.RsObj.

I would like to change the Render attributes for the shapes as shown previously. Red Edges.
I have already fixed the default reset problem for all of the lights as previously posted.
There is an issue with the Samples not updating in the Link Editor, but updates in the Stack.
There is nothing I can do about that.
Save the Lights.RsObj properly as previously posted.
Upload the changes.

You adjust the defaults in the Yafaray Helper and the Power settings for each light.
You upload the Lights.RsObj properly as previously posted.

I will then then save the lights from your Lights.RsObj to the YafaRay Lights library with the new icons.
I will then upload all of the above including the new toolbar.
Sound good?

I am shooting for July 4 2018 to release the FINAL Unofficial Update 4

I haven't made any changes since the "Edit2" upload, so you can just continue and finish of what you are doing and upload again when you're finished. It may take some time to figure out the lights, maybe a d3d problem, not sure yet. Then if I make changes I'll upload and you finalize it all.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 27 Jun 2018, 03:27

Here you go.
Changes:
Add Samples to Point and Infinite.
Note: Change Sample to 32, press Enter, put cursor in Power, and then Reset Samples. IDK?

Stopped tS light preferences from showing in the Stack or Aspects on all lights.

Changed Enable Shadows to Cast Shadows on all lights.

Added Cast Shadows to Sun on the front panel.
Added Red Edges, Opacity 0.200 to all light shape's Render Attributes except Area.

Added Red color to parts of Area light's geometry. Changed Size from 1 to 0.5

Changed IES Soft Shadows default from 32 to 16

All of the above changes to match Blender.
Removed due to update

So edit steps are...

3. load from the YafaRay4tS toolbar <- this doesn't make sense to me since the Matrix will change
4. make changes to a light
5. minimize the node in the link editor
6. save to /System/Preferences/Lights
repeat steps 3 to 6 until done

be careful not to change the Matrix or ObjectMatrix(OwnerMatrix?)
when finished save the /Preferences/Lights node and send it to you

For step 3 do I copy the node from the /System/Preferences/Lights instead of using the toolbar ?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 27 Jun 2018, 04:33

When loading the lights from the toolbar they are coming from System/Preferences/Lights.
This is only for testing changes AFTER Saving/Reset.
You can have a window open in System/Preferences/Lights for making permeant changes.
You can have another window open in the scene for testing loading them from the toolbar.
I just recently discovered that the changes made to the default settings in the Yafaray Helper script were not being saved unless you follow the steps below. This seems to be the only thing that does not work, as I have made several changes to the lights without Saving/Reset. IDK?

1.) Save the Lights.RsObj to the preobjects folder
2.) Reset the Default Context.
In the YafaRay4tS layout, try out the lights from the toolbar.

3.) Make changes to the lights in System/Preferences/Lights
Word of caution, I edit the lights from the above path.
They are minimized just like the tS lights.
This makes them come in the Link Editor minimized.
They have been set to land on the grid just like the tS lights, so you should not change their Matrix and or ObjectMatrix.

4.) Save the Lights.RsObj to the preobjects folder
5.) Reset the Default Context.
Steps 4 and 5 are important before doing the next steps 6 and 7.
6.) When done with all changes, save them to the YafaRay Lights library FROM System/Preferences/Lights.
7.) You then need to Manually change the icons in the library.

Stopped tS light preferences from showing in the Stack or Aspects on all lights.

Changed Enable Shadows to Cast Shadows on all lights.

Added Cast Shadows to Sun on the front panel.
Added Red Edges, Opacity 0.200 to all light shape's Render Attributes except Area.

Added Red color to parts of Area light's geometry. Changed Size from 1 to 0.5

Here is a scene, hopefully you can figure our what's wrong.
I have the Blend Material set in the Material Editor.
I Switched and applied a texture.
Used the Area Render.
I get this error.

: Error1.PNG (11.99 KiB) Viewed 4576 times

I noticed that the Use OptDector Viewer gets checked somehow, can not figure out how so far.
I do not have iOptidetectors installed.
Not saying the above caused it.
After I uncheck it and render again, I get this error.

: Error2.PNG (4.7 KiB) Viewed 4576 times

I looked in the Misc - Restore All Defaults and there is this attribute that does not even exist.

Code: Select all

Yaf_Yaf_CustomViewer")

Theses next two attributes are set to true (Checked) when you Reset them:
useOptDetector
useRenderToFile
I could not find where they are.

Edit:
I have Restored All Defaults and Saved the Settings.
I have Reset the Default Context
I am still stuck with the Error2, and can no longer render with YafaRay4tS.

If so can the changes (Code copied and pasted) be applied to my modified YafaRay4tS.RsObj which is the above version?
What should the Draw Params settings title be called? IE: --Draw Parameters Settings--
You did not mention the other attributes so I am assuming it should be:

IDK if this is important to you or not but I just noticed that the Render buttons on the YafaRay4ts panel does not call the Render to File if Use Render to File Dialog is checked.
Edit: After using it more maybe it is good to have it separate, not sure.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 29 Jun 2018, 16:19

When using Render to File with the Area Render the Width and Height changes to what you would expect.
When you change to say Render Scene the Width and Height still has the Area Render's Width and Height, as shown.
The rendered scene is correct, it does render the Width and Height entered in the Output - Render File, and the Area Render is unchecked. This seems misleading.

: Render to File Render Area changed the Width and Height.PNG (7.86 KiB) Viewed 4876 times

Anyway to set the Render to File's Width and Height to the Output - Render File's Width and Height, after using the Render Area?
If not maybe you could have Output - Render File's Width and Height and the Area Render's Width and Height with it's check box, in the Render to File?

Added a button to the YafaRay Camera that sets it as the camera in use in the YafaRay4tS panel.
Want to add a RMB command for the toolbar that opens the Camera aspect in the Stack too.
Questions about the YafaRay Camera/Camera Data:
Shouldn't the Set DOF Distance script be updating all of the Camera Data in the YafaRay4tS/Camera aspect?
Shouldn't the Camera Data's defaults be the same as the YafaRay4tS/Camera aspect?

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 29 Jun 2018, 17:59

These are the changes so far:

Merged from my version of YafaRay4tS:

MaterialFnSet - blend material scene value was not set
RendertoFile tab - changed width and height which were coming from the render area instead of render size
Reset Defaults Button - changed to general reset code
defaults for input color space=sRGB, yaf gamma in=1.0
defaults from Render node -png file format, run minimized...
update opti display node - add line to clear status
added open temp folder button
ShowDisplayFnSet - partial save timer(PST) update and fix status display
CameraFnSet - if invalid camera try last camera added to scene before defaulting to view mode

New items:

Reset defaults - added Watchdog run
renamed "Draw Settings Parameter" heading to "More Settings"
LightsFnSet - export tS default infinite light
MaterialFnSet - check for invalid map nodes created when user adds a map then does not press the switch button to activate it
cleaned code - removed debugging System.Trace from various nodes

Todo:

verify light export power
add light attenuation control - light previews are not valid when lighting models depend on bounced light
make sample scene with a blend material - all other sample scenes are done
download new lights and set power values and brightness based on:
0.5*power^2 for point and spot lights,
just plain power for area,directional,ies and sun lights and
0.5*power^2/radius^2 for sphere light
check area light - may be upside down relative to the render

Edit: match YafaRay node camera defaults to yafaray camera defaults
Edit: check for unsupported file formats

stress test - try to break it and patch the holes

When a yafaray camera is used the corresponding values on the YafaRay4tS camera aspect are ignored by the exporter.
The yafaray camera is newer, so the yafary4tS node will need to copy it's defaults, will add this one to my todo list.

Okay no problem.
Here is another stab at the Render Object
Concept is to include an encapsulated Camera 'Cam'.
Copy the Eye Camera values to an Object script 'EyeView'
Copy those values to the Cam
Using the Camera to Zoom 2 Object and Render
Copy the EyeView values back to the Eye Camera

It works pretty good and better then the present one.
The Render Object Camera is WIP and does not work.

Edit:
Just notice that when using Render to File it does not render the object, it renders the scene.
The solution is to add a Render Object button on the Render to File using this code:

Code: Select all

Library2.DlgGenericSave("",Space.CurrentScene() + "/YafaRay4tS/tSDisplay/Display",3);
WindowsManager.CloseWindow("Project/Windows Manager Space/R2F_PanelFrame")

Or even better would be to save the image without the Library2.DlgGenericSave.

I think I understand what you're saying. The background is an unexpected black color.
Try using the background settings "Trans bg" and "Mat trans refr", but know that I think there may be a bug with the 2 checkboxes being reversed in the export. Also the "Mat trans refr" should have no effect unless "Trans bg" is also selected, but it does.

I have already tried the Background settings before I originally posted about this thinking that maybe the defaults were changed. I am guessing that your last update may be corrupted. Are you saying that in your version, with the default settings, default lights, and rendering a simple cube produces a White background?
If so how about you upload the present version?

List of changes here is updated from a previous post.

MaterialFnSet - blend material scene value was not set
RendertoFile tab - changed width and height which were coming from the render area instead of render size
Reset Defaults Button - changed to general reset code
defaults for input color space=sRGB, yaf gamma in=1.0
defaults from Render node -png file format, run minimized...
update opti display node - add line to clear status
added open temp folder button
ShowDisplayFnSet - partial save timer(PST) update and fix status display
CameraFnSet - if invalid camera try last camera added to scene before defaulting to view mode
background transparent - default false
background mat transp refract set to false when exporting if transparent background is set to false

Reset defaults - added Watchdog run
renamed "Draw Settings Parameter" heading to "More Settings"
LightsFnSet - export tS default infinite light
MaterialFnSet - check for invalid map nodes created when user adds a map then does not press the switch button to activate it
cleaned code - removed debugging System.Trace from various nodes
background defaults color gray and power 1.0

Lights:
got attenuation values and color multiply math to match renders better
flipped exported geometry of area light - was upside down in the render

Todo:

add light attenuation control - light previews are not valid when lighting models depend on bounced light
make sample scene with a blend material - all other sample scenes are done
finish new ies light preview
sphere light needs size attribute on the default tab
area light needs render checkbox on the default tab

match YafaRay node camera defaults to yafaray camera defaults
check for unsupported image file formats

FYI..I fooled around with the "Mat trans refr" with the previous update with the White background.
Not understanding why there would be a problem with the exported wires. They just export to the front of the panel as I understand it. They were Linked right on the Background aspect and I checked to see if there were mutiple wires hooked up. All seemed okay. What I did notice though as soon as I checked "Mat trans refr", the backgound render turned black.

Also experimented with trying to match the default Workspace background color. Just an idea but was thinking the default Yaf Background Type should be None, with a blue background color like Workspace? Power not sure. Did not succeed in color that rendered the same as Workspace. It looks washed out or lighter if you will.

Off to try your new update. Thank You!

Not wires but the actual export with the 2 values switched in code. Ends up my theory was wrong, had nothing to do with reversed values but with the fact the tS could export transparent as false and mat transparent refraction as true. That combination isn't possible from Blender. I still need to check that it's working properly.
The settings for gamma and color space have a big impact on color output. I think the newest update above may have better default values. gamma in of 1.0, gamma out of 2.2 and srgb color space are the current default values.

I didn't do anything with those. I looked at one and it was controlled by a closed node so I ignored all of them.

Here is a couple of materials I made.
Can you look at them and make sure they are right?
They are using images from the tS Texture folder so they should transfer over.

Can the Blend be made into a Material?

I don't knwo what you mean by "right", so I guess you're trying to make basic material. In that case you dont need the diffuse reflection map and basic transparency doesn't need a translucency map. Maybe the material and material modulation sections of the yafaray docs can help: http://www.yafaray.org/documentation/userguide
