Is there a DAZ/Iray material scene/model?

I'm not 102% sure if thats the correct term, but some people refer to them as material models or material scenes or material scene models... Or even "those material thingies"... What I'm talking about is those cool looking shapes that you apply the material you've made to in order to show what it looks like... The Iray and uber shader icons all have them.
Is that something for Published Artists only, or is it available somewhere?
If not, no biggie, I'll make my own, I just figured it would look better if there was an official one.
Thanks for any answers.

    There sure is. There should be a DAZ Material Scene.duf in Props>DAZ material Ball

    It was included in the Default Lights and Shaders for DAZ Studio 4.8+ installer.

    I have one in my props folder called the "DAZ Material Ball". It is a complete scene and was installed as part of the beta and 4.8 install (probably from the default package).

    Thanks! I didn't think to look there... I figured it was something you'd have to download, so I looked it up and found no mention of it in any search results... I probably would have if I used the correct term "material ball"...
    Awesome, thanks for the replies!

    Note that if you select the Inner Sphere material, and browse on the Base Color parameter, you'll find the "DAZLogo" texture that all the Iray material thumbnails have. If there's an actual material file that applies this, I'm not seeing it. :roll:
