Render WITHOUT textures? Yes, you read that right.

I'm looking for a way to render in Iray without textures, just a flat model. I know it would be possible to strip them off the model or change the surface shader but I want to keep those intact and just for the purpose of asset rending thumbnails have a textureless model.

can this be done?

scene optimiser can do this

you mustn't  overwrite your scene as it will do as you said strip all the maps if choosing that option 

so save before using it and if you wish save a separate one with changes, the duf files are not big

you can of course also use OpenGL and flat shading in the Viewport

I agree with wendy Opengl is a better Idea for rendering Icons. I also use this>>>https://www.daz3d.com/map-master-pro It has a Icon function.
