Blender Intregation
Native Integration
In blender's rendering tab (key F12) you can choose YafRay as rendering engine and start rendering directly without (manually) exporting it. Rendering will be done internally but using Yafray libraries
Exporters
XML
From blender rendering tab (key F12), checking "XML" checkbox, the scene will be exported in XML Format, then render will be started using yafray external binary
Yable
Yable is is a python script. It's no longer supported since yafray has been integrated into blender
