Yea, I smooth it, and then i try to Render it, I clock OpenGL and it renders it, the blue bar goes to like 70% and then it keeps on flashing and saying (in the blue bar) "rendering: creating triangles" or something like that, but then it freezes and i need to CAD...
anyhelp?

Hmmm...How many polygons did the model have?

If it was alot, i reckon you'll need to wait longer. If not, reinstall. :/

Yafray (http://www.coala.uniovi.es/~jandro/noname/) is a rendering engine integrated into Wings as a plugin. Just download Yafray, install it. In Wings, go to edit > Plugin preferences > Yafray. Locate the Yafray.exe.

Now you can start rendering with Yafray. (File > Render > Yafray)

By the way, you can set different properties for lights and materials for Yafray. Like for materials you can adjust fresnel properties and such.

And for lights, you can set HDRI, pathlights, Volumetric lights, etc. :)

EDIT: Hmmmm...About the rendering error. Where did you install Yafray? If you installed it in C:/program files/Yafray, uninstall it and install it to C:/Yafray, and then try it. Remember, to change the plugin preferences to the new location too.

You can alter Yaffray settings(resolution as well) by pushing the little square right next to it in the File/Render menu.
