MrVoll, I use V4 in Daz, and found that applying the Daz 'uber' shader first fixes almost everything. There is also an Iray conversion for V4 series characters that works well. I hate to pound Daz's drum but IRay (they licence it from Nvidia) is brilliant; being fast and easy. It needs better documentation (Daz's Achilles heel) but it's still brilliant.

I'm not sure what you mean by "applying" the Daz 'uber' shader first. How do you do that? Isn't Uber shader just the lighting? Does it fix the shiny plastic look that the characters and clothing have in Daz? I like the Iray renders, they look good. I have one of the newer GPU's that aren't supported yet in Daz3d because the drivers aren't implemented yet, so a single simple render of one character in Iray takes almost 2 hours because it gets done with the CPU instead. So, I was trying to get by with 3delight instead until the drivers come out for my card somewhere down the road. Do you think that that Iray conversion kit would make the skins look ok?

Thanks, Jon
