    You're quite welcome, enjoy :-)

  • A big thank you for this and your other shaders. I do appreciate the time and effort - not to mention struggle that is put into getting these things together and to the mass Daz populace.

    Good news I can convert Iray shaders to 3Delight, bad news DS4.7 does not have .mdl directory manager. If anyone can help me to make those shaders work it would be cool :) I think I should download them at least, they are just great. Thank You very much.yes

    If I'm not mistaken I think the Iray shaders [mdl] work only in D/S 4.9 plus.

    I can't recall if it was 4.9 or 4.8, but certainly DS 4.7 has no Iray.

  • Excuse me for my ignorance, but exactly how are these shaders used? I am an old Poser user, dabbling in DAZ now for the last couple of years.

    Would it be possible [if it hasn't already been done] for someone to make up a complete idiots guide, telling what I need, where to put it and then how to use it in DAZ.

    Sorry if this is obvious, but I am a bit confused with these files.

    Thanks for the uploads.

    A Shader preset is like a Poser mt5 file - it's material settings that can go on any surface. A Materials preset is like an mc6 - it's a settings for one or more named surfaces. To apply a shader preset you (usually*) select the model and one or more surfaces on the model - for example, from the list in the Editor tab of the Surfaces pane or by clicking with the Surface Selection tool - and double-click the preset.

    * If you hold down cmd(Mac)/ctrl(Win) while double-clicking you will get an option dialogue, one of the things you can do there is apply the preset to all surfaces on he selected model(s) without having to select them first

    Yes, sadly, there is no option to load .mdl files in DS 4.7, but I can convert Iray shaders with https://www.daz3d.com/tiles-aplenty-vol-viii just need to remove one of the maps. At least I got that good, so now I can use all free shaders that are available, just need to download them laugh.

     

    I need also to find tool for Iray conversion of full scenes or props, I think I saved it somewhere on my HD but will need to find it. I need it it convert latest products like this https://www.daz3d.com/buddleia--butterfly-bushes ... ok found it, there are commercial products but here is one that is free, now just to try to use it https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/139326/irayto3delight-conversion-script/p1

  • Thanks for helping guys. I know how to use shaders but was a bit lost with the whole mdl directory thing. I haven't had chance to try but will let you know how I get on.

     

    Thanks again.
