Quote - AFAIK you don't need the pay version to get GI. The biggest advantage of the pay version is the ability to MAKE shaders with the new node based shader ability. The free version can still read and render them, but not make them.
As of now the free version does not include GI/IBL. Also, limiting the shading tools to read-only is really, really limiting. For those using the free version only, D|S 3 offers almost nothing new, although I expect that DAZ will be selling content with D|S baked shaders a lot more often now.
