Is there a way to use 'materials' like in poser, in daz? I have skyes shaders and wondering if I can get them to function in daz?

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

 

Any of posers math specific shaders cannot be used in Daz unfortunately, if I read what you mean correctly.

Poserworks has produced several plugin for DS including a shaders one called pwSurfaces which is very good and can be purchased at DAZ.You can also download some free default shaders at DAZ.

Awww too bad. No I LOVE skyes shaders...was really hoping to use those.

Another solution you might try is to grab PW effect and or PW Surface, they have a lot of interesting shader options for daz. One thing though, is they tend to be a bit resource intensive, but they are fun to play with.

Do you have a link to skyes shaders? there might be a workaround solution to adapt parts of them if they use bitmaps, or one might fudge something similar to work with Daz specifically, depending on what these shaders look like. A lot of the shaders I see available can be fudged in Daz by using a combination of bitmap textures and reflection settings for glossy metals, latex, polished stone, etc. Using combinations of various maps can give you a wide range of effects for a texture.

OK, that's what I thought. Most of these effects can easily be achieved with some reflection added to a texture. The main difference is that these textures don't appear to use bitmaps, but rather math functions. 

By applying a reflection to a texture in daz, you can achieve an effect from polished metalic to latex that looks identical.

Well, it wasnt a 'different' look I was wanting. I was just hoping to use that exact pack. So that must be a no.

Sorry, but that would be a no.
