I have been through the conversion to IRay materials so many times that I do it automatically now - and usually save them back to my library in IRay format. During that time I have collected a lot of content which is pre-IRay and I still use some of it. Yes, I know how to change the shaders in DAZ Studio - I've been playing with it for 15 years. I occasionally have to fix eyes and some other stuff but that is where you have to learn about blender's shader system to fix these things. Don't have evee set as render engine this messes up the conversion. I won't explain the node based shader system in blender & if you don't know how to add the Iray Daz shader to older stuff you can buy a converter from the PA's here at store.

This is over simplified but I'm no expert.

Just make sure your render engine is set to cycles in blender first, then make sure all your textures on the daz side are set to daz Iray, now transfer and enjoy. So there has been a similar discussion - with examples and advice - going on in this thread: Unfortunately, it is the nature of this forum that subjects get spread over different threads (I'm at fault for that as much as anyone). Again, I'm probably missing something in the setup that wasn't covered in the video above so I need to go back to the Diffeomorphic site and do some reading.ĭid you convert the materials over? Because you can't just move Iray or 3dlight into cycles and expect it to Just Work. The render - even in Cycles, looks so flat - no depth, no specularity, no HD details, no pores, etc.

Even if that problem is resolved, I'm still not happy with the texture/materials conversion. Thanks, I wan't aware of that - I'll take a look later. Might not get the textures 100% right, but at least the geometry is dealt with. The idea is to remove the body vertices hidden by the piece of anatomy, and to merge common vertices at the boundary and create a single seamless mesh from the two original meshes.Īnd there is more, with pictures. It is most commonly used for genitalia, but can be used for other types of anatomy as well, such as horns or tails. This is typically used to add pieces of anatomy to characters. A grafted item is a high-density mesh which can replace a low-density region of another mesh.
