(contracted; show full):The effects of a focus [[depth of field]] can be reproduced using this feature. With a point in the scene fixed, further objects will be out of focus.

;Blurry reflections
:If a surface is not a perfect [[Reflection (physics)|reflector]], distortion arises in the reflected light. This distortion will grow bigger as the reflecting object is taken further away. YafaRay can simulate this phenomenon.

===Architecture===
;Modular framework
:Yafa
rRay features a modular structure, with a [[kernel (computer science)|kernel]] with which the rest of the render elements connect: scene loader, lights and shaders. This together with an [[Application Programming Interface|API]], allows development of rendering plug-ins, for using YafarRay from any program or 3D suite. Supported suites include [[Blender (software)|Blender]], [[Wings 3D]] and Aztec. 

;Cross-platform
:YafarRay has been fully developed using [[C++]]. This makes for good portability and there are precompiled [[binaries]] for the most common platforms: [[GNU]]/[[Linux]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] 9x/XP/2000, [[Mac OS X]] and [[Irix]]. YafarRay can be used as a stand-alone render engine, using its own scene description format. This way it can be used from the [[command line]] directly, by a script, etc. There are also provisions for [[parallel computing|parallel]] or [[Distributed computing|distributed]] rendering.
