Description A simple shader for your old V4 textures.
It's surely not a panacea, but I think it will help people, who are not so familiar with Iray!

Hint: you don't need to press ctrl when you load the shader to your G2F

Update: if the skin seems to dark, set down the 'Translucency Weight' (15-20)

Ed, could the V4 texture you started out with have something to do with the great results in the 'after' side?  Do you remember which it was?    And too, did you use your IRAY light present?   These things always seem so critical.  Skin can be a challenge.   ...and I don't think the test results from further down in this forum chat on Syltermermaid's China turned out that well.   ...in my humble opinion.
but the skin in your render in the example above are da bomb.

Thanks!

The skin I used here is Mimi from Vyktohria. I only did here what I wrote in the picture above. Not every skin works like this, that's right. But I think the shader is a good starting point.

And I used my own light preset:

Du musst mir mal erzählen, wie man einen Shader herstellt.
Keiner weiß wie es geht, aber jeder machts.

Edheldil3D In reply to Catweazle01 [2017-02-03 15:46:48 +0000 UTC]

Kommt drauf an was genau du meinst mit 'Herstellen'.
Der hier basiert auf den G2F Iray Base Shader aus dem DAZ-Content. Die Parameter wurden den Bedürfnissen im SurfaceTab angepasst und dann ganz normal als Shader gespeichert.
Dann aber mit einem Texteditor geöffnet und bearbeitet. In diesem Fall wurden alle Bildverweise zu den Texturen gelöscht. Somit bleiben beim Anwenden des Shaders auf eine beliebige V4 Textur alle Texturen erhalten.
Einen Shader selbst 'gebacken' habe ich aber auch noch nie. Das ist mir alles zu hoch!

can this shader be applied to v4 figure as well?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Edheldil3D In reply to JerryHacker [2015-10-01 10:49:32 +0000 UTC]

No, because the surfaces are different.
But I am working on a shader for the V4 figure.

Ui, dankeschön. Jetzt brauch ich nur noch ne V4 Textur.    Schaut aber gut aus dein Preset

Danke!  
Ist halt für die gedacht, die null Ahnung von Iray haben und noch ne V4 Textur verwenden.
Ist aber kein Allheilmittel, da die V4 Texturen ganz anders von der Farbintensität aufgebaut sind!

thought I would add this works very well with v6. I got an error message originally with it trying to look for v4. But it worked. I now have nice skin on V6 without it looking flat.

This is awesome! I'm going to share it everywhere! Thanks a lot. You should charge for this as PA. Do you know how gorgeous Elite Textures will look with IRay? I'm going to do some tests and post them here if you don't mind. Again, thank you!

Thanks! I was just wondering, why bump maps instead of specular or color in the Glossy and Top Coat color channels?

Edheldil3D In reply to vwrangler [2015-07-06 17:28:59 +0000 UTC]

No problem!
Not all old V4 skins have specular maps, but if you have some, try out!
