Since it doesn’t seem to be too easy to find: Here’s a tutorial on how to set the parameters for Yafray in Wings3D.

This is a composite of a wireframe & rendering done in the free subdivision surface modeler Wings3D. After having installed Wings3D on Ubuntu Linux, I find it surprisingly intuitive to use. All I need now is a good renderer, and since I ran into problems when trying to configure 3Delight (I posted on that to the 3Delight RenderMan® forum in the meantime), I’ll see if I can get Aqsis, another RenderMan® compliant renderer, to work with Wings3D. I’m pretty enthusiastic about Wings3D right now, and even if the rendering above was done using the built-in OpenGL renderer only, I find the result surprisingly good.
