Should I change my V4/M4 character 3delight clothing shaders to iray shaders?

Toobis

So i want to add 20 something gen4 characters as a background audience for an iray render. The actual V4M4 characters themselves are iray converted but their clothing is from pre iray times so is 3delight. If i try to add 3delight clothing in a iray render I know this would draag out rendering times so should I replace the generation 4 clothing shaders with iray ones? Thx.

Just changing the textures is what I do,just use some iRay shaders on the clothing ,I go the other dirrection and change everything to 3DL ,but there is no reason you couldn't use iRay shaders on older stuff ...

DS will auto-convert known 3Delight shaders to the Iray Uber Base at the beginning of the render, so generally it will have little impact on the time taken overall.

If you already have iRay cloth shaders ,just use them on the clothing .......RSSY's converter will work too.
