Iray Presets Icons Missing

Mari-Anne

I am trying to understand the Iray rendering in Daz Studio and notice that the presets show up as missing with a black & white triangle with an exclamation point.  There are a total of two .duf files and two .png files in My DAZ 3D Library>Render Presets>Iray folder (version 4.9 - Windows 10 - 64-bits)  When I open the .duf files in Wordpad, there are no references to any .png files so I am wondering if there is anything I need to correct to make the presets accessible from my content library.

The association of png and identically named DS file is automatic, it doesn't need a reference in the DS file. Are the presets not working, or are they working but not showing their thumbnails?

Actually, they seem to work.  It didn't occur to me to even try them, but I just tried the Sun Dial and it created a Sun Dial in the Scene tab.  The icons in the Render Preset area still contain a frame with  a triangle and an exclamation mark.  How can I get the png to show?

It may be an error in the metadata rather than anything you are doing, what are the full names of the files that lack images?

Mari-Anne

The .duf file names are Iray Advanced Render Settings.duf and Sun Dial Set.duf.

The .png file names differ slightly from their corresponding .duf files: Iray-Advanced-Render-Settings.png and Sun-Dial-Set1.png

 

Edited:  That did it - I just changed the file names to correspond with the .duf files

Yes, they have to match exactly. Glad you got it sorted, if you have time could you open a bug report on the original mis-matched names please.

Bug report submitted. Thanks again, Richard!
