Hallo, all. 

 

I wonder if it´s possible to export iray materials as .mdl files for use in another program (Cinema 4D). Any suggestions how to do this?

    Really? I am the only one interested in this? No DAZ-supporter here?!?

    it seems it's impossible to export to mdl.  no menu, no choice in save materials dialog box, nothing in the shader mixer.

    The MDL files already exist in <your studio program directory>/shaders/iray. The shader mixer configuration is a different matter, and can't be "exported" as such. There must be some mechanism to transport the materials from DS to Iray during a render, but I've not checked to see whether it's discoverable on the file system.

    That´s a really nice comment. In germany we have this little word that still make such commands, sry, comments a little bit nicer. The word is "bitte".

    And btw: Before I´ve "bumped" this thread, I´ve get zero answers. Or perhaps some from the daz-team written with some special agent secret ink, just readable when I put the monitor on a hot stove plate...

    I´ve tried it in every possible (for me) way without success. Unlucky...

    Would be super awesome if this was possible! Still no way to do this?
