Marrakesh Souks, Marrakesh Souks 2012, Marrakesh Souks Iray

Quasar

I don't own Marrakesh Souks 2012, which is required for Marrakesh Souks Iray. However, I do own the original Marrakesh Souks. Since the original has the same geometry as 2012, does it have the same UV and surfaces? If so, I'm thinking I could get the Iray update, apply the mat settings while holding ctrl and tell it to ignore image files. Am I right in guessing that it would apply all the other Iray settings while using the original textures?

For the 2012:

The original obj files haven't been altered and will still reside in the same folder as the originals. This is so backwards compatibility with the other texture add-on packs is maintained.

So it sounds like the UVs and surfaces are the same - the 2012 version (which is the one I have) was mostly about new textures and settings. The 2012 version accepts any texture sets that go with the old version so the reverse is probably true.

I'm guessing (but can't guarantee) that the Iray surfaces would work on the old version. What won't work (probably) is the scene preloads.

I gave it a try as I have them all.  It seems to work, at least with the Arch - the one to the left is the old version with Iray mats applied, the one to the right is the 2012 version with the same mats.
