Using other render engines in Blender

I am running Blender 2.71 on Xubuntu 14.04

How can I get other render engines (Yafaray, Freestyle, Luxrender, etc…) in Blender?

You have Freestyle already

For other renderers have you tried looking on the renderer’s own websites ?
Luxrender http://www.luxrender.net/en_GB/blender_2_5
Yafaray http://www.yafaray.org/download

If I have freestyle already, how do I enable it?
Under the render engine dropdown menu, I only have options for BI, BG, and Cycles

Also, the website only gives me download links. It doesn’t tell me how to actually link them to Blender to be able to use them

And as a side note, I’m really only interested in the Freestyle engine

Freestyle is a post process for Blender Internal and Cycles. No need to ask this in the support forum, there’s a whole article dedicated to it in the Blender wiki manual.

If I have freestyle already, how do I enable it?

Enable Freestyle (read the wiki etc for instructions to use)
Blender 2.71 - available for Blender Render
Blender 2.72 - available for both Blender Render and Cycles Renderer



I don’t have any options for “Freestyle” in the render panel. Here’s all I have:



As you can see, in your image it was located above the “Stamp” option, but in mine, it isn’t there
