is there a conversion for 3Delight textures to Iray textures?

Here on the Renderosity Marketplace 'Vyktohria' sells "Convert It! - Iray to 3DL Characters" and "Convert It! - Hair" (any, even Poser, to Iray). These are purely characters / hair based. I seem tor recall that there are also automatic converters geared for big scenes and props.

It's also possible to go the other way, and 'Vyktohria' has a "Convert It! - Iray to 3Delight" pack.

Textures are not engine-specific. Daz Studio will apply the Iray Uber base to surfaces using one of the standard 3Delight shaders at render time, theer is no need to cinvert unless there are so many surfaces that it has a noticeable effect on the time it takes a render to start (probably mainly an issue if doing many short test renders) or if you wish to modify the settings (e.g. things like glass and metal will often benefit from tweaking) - to do that just select the surface and apply the Iray Uber Base preset. Custom shaders (using Shader Mixer or special .sdl files, rather than settings for the existing shaders like Uber Surface) will not convert.
