I am new to the whole IRAY engine. Just tried using character. Not sure whats going wrong, but I am getting things turning pinkish/purple. I don't know how to correct it. any help would be appreciated.

It does not do it on every character. I just followed the instructions and put freeinage.dll back into the libs folder in daz and its still doing it.

That's not the same pink render issue. Check your shader's settings. Many things do not look as they will appear when rendered. This is normal.

you can get a preview of how it will render by using the nvidia preview mode.  To the left of the Gizmo blue square ball thingy in the top right of your your picture is "Perspective View", to the left of that is a drop down that gives you some choices on how the perspective view is displayed.  I think the default is Texture Shaded, but if you click on the last choice,... I think it is nvidia something.... that will show you how it will render (keep in mind it is "intensive" so your pc will lag a bit).
Its not the best for "everyday use" but will give you an approximation for how it will render.

I checked my shader settings and everything looks normal. I have reset everything to default and it still does the pink issue.

ok seems noone know anything about this. even DAZ dont know whats going wrong.

I am using default settings. ive reinstalled daz. there is no problem with my antivirus catching the DLLimage as a virus. ive reinstalled dllimage. 

 

could it be that the textures are not compatable with iray even though they are saved and installed as an iray file?

Did anybody ever find a solve for this problem? I have a little more information.

This doesn't happen with items that were meant for Iray. It only happens, for me, with items I used to use in other programs, like Poser. All of the settings look like they're correct, I see nothing pink. Texture shaded looks fine. 3Delight looks fine. Iray is very festively pink.

I have nv_freeimage.dll loaded properly. Actually, just to be safe, I re-installed DS and also copied nv_freeimage.dll and renamed the copy freeimage.dll. None of them are being quarantined by my AV.

My textures all looked normal in the Surfaces tab. Except in Iray preview.

So for kicks, I thought I'd open the texture files in Photoshop. I exported one (originally a JPG) to a PNG and loaded that into DS. How interesting. Look what happens! I don't know if this helps anyone, but figured I'd contribute.

Here's my final render, with all of the textures and transparency maps converted from jpg to png.
