Yafaray and Particle

I have actually followed those tutorials but in this case the tangent shading couldn't be transformed with edges curve. So I made a convert the particle but that still didn't make the strands to show.
Thank you though.

This is what I have with the internal render:

in yafaray it doesn't show. Just the sphere that holds the particle system.


And as I said in the op if you convert and make it a mesh it simplifies too much from this particle setting that I have here. Edges curve doesn't do the trick in this particular situation.

As far as I know, yafaray doesn't support blender particles, so you have to use mesh for grass. I made a little videotutorial about converting blender particle grass to mesh http://www.sendspace.com/file/hirj45. That way you can render it in any render application. The trick is to use taper curve (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:Manual/Modelling/Curves/Curve_Taper) to shape the pointy end of grass blades.

Was chatting with the yafaray guys during the weekend and asked about the particles, they gave me an updated version in beta of yafaray. Perhaps they are working on particle support? forgot to ask about that....
I'm not that fund of betas though so I will wait to see the update. No biggy though just gotta do the strands myself in mesh.

S-T-S, Really appreciate the help, thank you. :)
