Where can I find the Public Beta Content for DS 4.8 in the DS 4.8 official release?

Can someone tell me if the Content that was coming with the beta versions of DS 4.8 is included in the official release?

There were Iray shaders, Iray materials to apply to Genesis 2 (F and M), a script to create Iray advanced materials, ....

I can't find them in the installed content and I only have the very first file containing the beta content (IM00012000-45_PublicBetaContent1DS.zip of March 10). I wonder if it had been updated with the following beta releases. I had all the beta versions of DS 4.8 as well as the content files but I mistakenly erased the last ones yesterday...

Of course the file can no longer be downloaded and it is why I ask if that beta content is included in the official release.

Thank you for your help... :)

    You can also find information on IRAY here. We've listed various threads and pages of interest in the interest of keeping information in a few places rather than having dozens of threads to have to search through.

    Thank you very much for your very useful replies, Szark and Cris!

    I have downloaded the IM00013176-42_DefaultLightsandShadersforDAZStudio48 archive and the scripts and other Iray stuff are in the file...

    Thank you very much to both of you. It is always very nice to receive nice and quick help. Be thanked for that... :)

    Hi, where is this script to create Iray advanced materials located?
    I could not find it.

    Hi Artini,

    You can find the script in this folder:

    My Library\Scripts\Utilities

    It is the script named: Create Advanced Iray Node Properties

    Hope this helps... :)

    How do you use this script? what is it for?

    To be honest I had not seen that script when I tested the DS 4.8 beta releases. I saw it when checking the content of the very first beta content file yesterday. It is why I have mentioned it in my original post.

    I have tried to launch it yesterday (double click on the icon) and... nothing happens. Perhaps that there is something special to do but I do not know. Unless it would be a script bound to the material that we must apply to the items in the scene to allow us to turn the DS material into a Iray material?

    Perhaps does someone have the answer to that question...?

    It adds a couple of new settings under the Display group - Enable Iray Matte (a Boolean) and Iray Handle (a text field). You may need to refresh the display and/or change to Iray draw style to get them visible.

    Thank you very much for your reply, Richard. Now it is clearer and I see that the script adds some new features to the materials. I was a little confused when I saw that nothing was apparently changing after having run the script...

    Thank you again. :)
