Hi, I have been trying to figure out a way to convert the iRay shaders to work with 3Delight for Vader G3M. When I try to render in 3Delight the mask for example is just all black. Is there a way to properly convert the materials to work better in 3Delight for DAZ? I know some products include both sets of shaders for this reason.

Please see attached of my issue.

Thanks

Hi. I actually don't use iRay because my Mac Pro uses AMD. iRay is extremely slow to render for me. I am on latest DAZ 4.10.
I know people keep saying 3Delight will be excluded from DAZ, but if you look in the DAZ forums this is definitely not the case. Even people at DAZ have said they have no plans to remove 3Delight anytime soon. And many PAs are still creating shader/textures for both with their products. One of the PAs just released a really great product to increase render speed and allow 3Delight to match very closely the photorealism of iRay.

Does the Vader product for M4 support 3Delight? I did a test with your Blackknight M4 product that I bought and it renders well enough in 3Delight. Textures are not all black like Vader. Please see attached comparison.

Seriously? I have been using DAZ for many years. I have thousands of items in my library. Why would I switch to Poser because one third party item isn't working the way I had hoped? That doesn't make any sense.

Some users have had success with converting iRay shaders to work with 3Delight, but it is alway better to ask the creator of the products to help since they have the original assets to work from. That is why I asked you.

As about shaders M4 tested on Poser, G3 tested on Daz Iray... it goes as default render...


Also did you check some one create online service for Iray render using Nvidia GPU cause for 3d artist such solution exists for most popular software,same as for gamers, and they are cheap) And save lot of time)

Made Render on 3Delight and its not Black)
But Reflection map does not work...

This map used to created reflection SW_DarkVader_Helmet_Reflection.jpg in Poser you can use it in 3Delight...

As i check on Daz helmet use Daz shaders to create Shine

P.S. If you need mats i need at least products with shine plastic shaders.

So you are able to create additional mats for DAZ 3Delight? That would be great. If I knew how to do this, I would not bother you. What can I do to help?

That is closest I can get in 3Delight without proper 3Delight shaders designed for it. So it doesn't look as good as iRay of course. Are you able to alter the shaders?

nope... cause those renders just simple black shader in Iray... like you use in 3Delight... i remember old Daz render since Daz 2-3 version... and was really bad compare even to poser. Those time i export to Carrara,that now owned by Daz,to make much better renders) And they was much much better) Even then poser)

P.S. Really if possible grab Nvidia card) Their really lot of them,that not new, for about $100,that makes render in few minutes,instead of hour) It will save you nerves and lot of time)
