Anyonre else!! I wont purchase if it wont do mirrors.
I don’t see a mirror shader preset, and testing on a surface named ‘mirror’ the script selects the general Iray shader. You can create/add your own presets, though this would require some additional work on your part.
If you go to Smart Content > Shaders > Iray and search for mirror, you can see if you already have a mirror shader. Then, it's easy enough to just add a line to the script options to always use your mirror shader if it sees the word 'mirror' for any material surface. In fact, I think I'll do that now.
So ya, it might not do mirrors out of the box, but the ability to add options to permanantly update the script's 'intelligence' is a super nice feature.
In doing this, stumbled over a couple minor bugs:
- Select All/None checks/unchecks everything, implying the checkmark = selection. But Clear Selected Matches button ignores the checkmark and operates purely on which rows are currently highlighted. Not a big deal, was just a bit confusing.
- Skydome in options defaults to something weird test folder in E directory. I don't have an E directory. I updated it to point to this instead: "Shader Presets/RSSY 3Delight to Iray Converter/Shaders/RSSY3DLtI 18 Light White Iray.duf", and seems to have fixed it. Hopefully, updates to this product will not blow away changes users make to options...
I added mirror option just to confirm it works and it does! It remembers it after closing/reopening Daz. Again, hoping product updates won't nuke customization tho. For those who want to add mirror, here is the line I used:
Pattern: .*([Mm][Ii][Rr][Rr][Oo][Rr]).*
Preset: Shader Presets/iray/jg/homestyle 2/mirror/hs2 mirror.duf
There's a mirror option in the these free presets

I did the 1,2,3 on a fight scene of mine with it and it turned out looking crappy!!
Nothing like the promo images..
Maybe i did something wrong...maybe I don't fully understand it.
Maybe I should post this elsewhere...
Bottom line is first time out it disappointed me miserably.
I had high hopes for this, tries several scenes but like Alfawulf said it turned out really bad will likely return for refund
Yeah, I had a similar experience but I'm going to post my render in the tech support forum. I know so little about shaders and how they work, I might be doing something wrong.
Once I figured out I had to move new filters above the catchall filter, worked like a charm!
I converted Enchanted Forest with ease, once I added ivy, fern, and tropic to the filters.
how do you add to the script?????
I get an error when trying to run the script converstion and it spews a pile of errors in the debug file - any ideas wher could be going on? I tried installing and reinstalling from DAZ install manager but it does not seem to work. Still pretty new to DAZ here.
The libpng warnings are harmless, most of the rest are not warnings or errors as far as i can see but just information. It's the last bit,
that's the issue. Did you install manaully or using DIM or Connect?
I used the Daz Install Manager - is it not registered properly?
Which version of DS is this - Help>About Daz Studio?
Sorry for delays - had machine issues - this is a new install using the DIM. I thinkig maybe something in daz is not registered or something.
Hi Everyone,
I was able to fix this by installing from within Daz3D by clicking on the grey product box after uninstalling it.
I am not sure what the problem was but it is fixed now :).
Thank you for all the feedback here!
All I ever get is the genral shader applied, i could have done that through the studio itself, not woth the purchas of the product, we shouldn't have to jump through hoops in this forum or else where to get something to work you have paid for. just not good enopugh from the vendor.
I don't know if this is doable with this script, but would it be possible to set it up so that a 3dl cutout-based glass is converted so that the cutout transparency is applied as Refraction Weight and Invert image applied?
Still rubbish, no matter what i do, it still gives bad results in a render, I personaly think it should be removed from the store. We shouldn't haveto add to scripts or do extra work to get a result. All in all its a poorley produced product.
If you are dissatisfied, and you purchased the product within the last 30 days, submit a help request and ask for a refund. Your money will be cheerfully refunded, as the saying goes. In your request, be clear that you don't want technical support (if that is truly the case) and the refund will be processed without any hassle at all.
Thank you, but its not just about a refund, i have not ask for one and will still not ask for one, its about the product quality for me, I use daz products to make art work like most people on here i think, It seems that this product just keeps adding the basic iray shader to almost everything i do, granted it dos figures, but there are better figure shader than this product, The original post was about mirror shaders, and other people commented on how disappointed they are with this product. Since buying it i have tried and tried to add shader and scripts to it, but in the end if your not tech savvy on how to do this, then whats the point in trying, why should we spend hrs and hrs trying to add things, make things work on supposedly a ready made solution product. I suspect there are many people that have the time to add stuff and are happy with it, My point of view is that its just not good enough , and wanted to add to the other previuos comments about getting rubbish results.
Good thread! And also a good thing I popped in here when I searched for how this product works. It looks like it is a major problem, so off my wishlist it comes. That is sad that it doesn't work properly. The thing is that I am seeing posts here from the summer, so this product is not that new. You figure it would have been fixed by now. Well, it is now January and the last post was from September, so perhaps it WAS fixed by now, but I am not chancing it.
The 3DL to Iray converter is certainly not perfect, and often needs tweeking. It's biggest drawback is a lack of a "Make Art" button
That said, I use it a lot: with older products, and/or 'Poser only' products, and it saves me hours of work by doing the bulk of conversions, and if I need to manually change some surfaces, I'm still ahead.
I'm a satisfied customer.
I find this and the reverse script _absolutely_ invaluable and save me a huge amount of work.
I use both all the time and am a very satisfied customer.
As per the original request of a Mirror Shader. This is far the best Iray Mirror shader out there http://www.sharecg.com/v/81125/browse/21/DAZ-Studio/Iray-Mirror-Shader
