Terradomes

Bought Terradome 3 already. And that's for iray and DS.

To have something similar for Poser, and DS 3DL, would you recommend Terradome 2 or Terradome (1), or both equally? and expansions?

I don't think any of the poser ones work in DS at all since the materials are poser materials

To be honest, in my limited experiments with TD3 so far, the materials are by far the weakest part, so if you have 3DL materials for terrains, I would think any of them would work.

Sooo ... If one happens to have really good 3DL shaders for natural materials, like rock, stone, etc, these will work fine in Daz for the easy land formations?

 

And what about the TerraDome sky sets? Since most poser materials need tweaked in Daz 3DL anyway, are they workable?

This would be correct, you'd have to be proficient in procedural shading to translate the poser mats over if even possible. From what I remember mats and also some morphs were hard coded for poser only and have never worked properly in Daz Studio for these products.

You are right. You can't use Terradome 1 or 2 in DAZ Studio at all. See this thread:  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/148551/terradome2-environment-system-in-daz-studio
