Does the majority of the DS users use IRAY?

I use both that come with DAZ Studio, and also Reality but I would have to say that I use IRAY the most.

Iray...and I render toon style figures :) I only use 3delight when I want to use the Visual Style shaders.

Because I was wondering whether the PZ2 material sets in my Hair props were at all useful anymore.

Because my Hairs can be used in Poser as well as DS.

For Poser I add the MT5 material sets.

For DS I I add the IRAY duf files.

Does anyone need the PZ2 files?

Thank you for your replies all!

I use IRAY excluslivley. Iray was one of my two reasons too switch over to DAZ Studio. I never liked 3dlight.

Iray exclusively here.

No button to quote the original poster, great idea.

To answer your question, Iray is definitely displacing 3Delight, much to my chagrin; my GTX 760 is too slow for me to prefer Iray over 3Delight. I need lots of fast renders, not few slow renders, like most users.

I'm not sure how much of that stuff is useful. I suppose it's a matter of degree, unlike some of the new stuff I see coming out for Iray, which is totally useless to 3Delight users (until recently, I could still render most any Iray shader in 3Delight and see SOMETHING, but some of the new stuff is just blank, i.e., white with no rendering at all, like a cutout). Hair seems like something straightforward and consistent enough that a good converter could be written to take it from 3Delight to Iray.

I use Iray and Octane about 70/30

I've only ever used Iray since I started using Daz. I have the Reality plugin, but have never once tried it.

I use 3Delight for cartoon/comic renders and IRAY for everything else.
