IRAY Shaders and Shader Presets

kenmo

If I download Iray shaders from Nvidia or for a nother 3D app, can I use them in DAZ Studio? Or do they have to be tweaked for DAZ?

If they are MDL files it should be possible to use them by placing them in an MDL directory (set in the Shader Mixer pane) and alt-dragging them into a new shader.

Not sure what you mean by alt-dragging them into a new shader.  By "new shader" do you mean create a new folder named "new shader" or whatever you want to call it.

No, into the Shader Mixer pane. Alt-drag (if I am recalling correctly) does all the set-up, if you plain drag it adds them as a brick but you have to set up the input and final output.
