Grey Viewport for Iray after update

Charlie Judge

I installed the new update for DS and now a lot of the time (but always) my viewport in Iray mode turns grey after I select connect or work online. I want a black and have black selected in Styles > Customize > Viewport but it doesn't turn black. Any suggestions on how to keep it black ?

Note it stays black in Texture shaded mode but not in Iray mode.

I have updated the driver for my GTX970 and tried uninstalling and reinstalling DS; but all to no avail.

I could be wrong, but that appears to be sun sky mode.  You can check in the environment options, and switch it back to dome and scene since that's probably what you're used to

Thanks, I already am in dome and scene mode. I did however, find that I am missing the default environment map. How can I restore that?

I still have it after the update, but it doesn't seem to be in the 4.15.0.30 zip so it's probably left from the previous installation.  You may find it in an older install zip here: DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\shaders\iray\resources

EDIT: Sorry, it is in the 4.15.0.30 zip, there are just two "resources" folders in the zip and I looked in the wrong one.  The path above is correct.  Mine is installed today so from the 0.30 zip, why you don't have it is strange.
