I am working on the current NVidea MDL vMaterial Library and setting it up as DazStudio Shaders. If you look at the Shader Mixer and ponder what all those bricks do and how to link them together, this is for you. The FIRST set of 36 shaders is done and up at https://www.sharecg.com/v/88112/view/21/DAZ-Studio/IRAY-vMaterials-for-DAZ-Studio

This is pretty extensive as some MDL files actually have MULTIPLE set ups in them. But I am slugging through it and plan to have a set of 36 done and up every 1-3 days, depending on my mood and how long I can sit at my desk.

NOTE:

To use these shaders you MUST download and install the NVIDIA vMaterials located at:

https://developer.nvidia.com/vmaterials

If you do not have it installed all ready the vMaterials installer will prompt you to install the MDL Exchange.

The default install locations for these are:

vMaterials: C:Users(user)Documentsmdl

MDL Exchange: C:ProgramDataNVIDIA Corporationmdl

Once you have vMaterials installed you have 2 options in DazStudio to get them functioning.

Option 1: Move the vMaterials folder from its default location to DazStudio. C:Program FilesDAZ 3DDAZStudio4shadersiraynvidia (This is the default folder that D|S has older MDLs installed in.)

Option 2: Open DAZ Studio Shader Mixer goto Edit -> MDL Directory Manager add C:Users(user)Documentsmdl to the Base Paths

Any way jump over and grab these and have fun.
