I am rendering a scene that has a dragon in it. I have applyed an eye texture to the model that shows up in the preview viewport but not when I render. I can't figure out what is going on.
So it's the base dragon? As I recall it uses custom 3Delght shaders for the mouth and eyes, which DS won't auto-convert to Iray. You can use a different character for the dragon which does have Iray materials, at least for the eyes, or just go into the Surfaces pane, note the maps used, apply the Iray Uber base shader and then adjust its properties.

Which dragon, and if you are suing an add-on which materials? Iray or 3Delight render?
I am using Dax Studio Dragon 3 with slightly modified textures in Photoshop. I tweeked the colors a little. I am using Iray.
