Convert the materials with the Iray Uber Shader and then tweak the shader from there.
You can't find them because there aren't any. Daz Big Cat predates Iray by almost two years. Even the Daz Horse didn't see any Iray love until after Daz released the male centaur for G3. You might try the RSSY 3Delight to Iray Converter from RSA and Sickleyield. I just bought it myself and have high hopes. Though often times, just applying the Uber Iray Base does a better-than-passable job.
Thanks guys
I suspect anyone interested in doing Iray stuff may be waiting for a new Big Cat.
Fingers crossed!
(I'm hoping for a new housecat, then maybe big cat, then maybe maybe a new horse? Meep?)
try this https://www.daz3d.com/lamh-2-iray-catalyzer and this https://www.daz3d.com/real-fur-for-big-cats-2
the iray versions of the cats are are located in the real for big cats 2, but you need to use catalzer which is located in the menu winow - panes (tabs) scroll down to LAMH2Iray Catalyzer renders from that program plugin
oh you wont see an iray preview in the aux preview screen got some pics but can't upload seems to be a problem on the forums at moment read others having trouble too in other threads
You're a PA... Have any inside info? I want new cats big and small so badly! (Although, I admit I rarely use the old ones -- the house cats are not too bad but I still haven't seen any really realistic cats big or small at any store...)
I own the real fur for big cat 2 and the LAMH paid version. The product page doesn't say anything about having to use the catalyzer to make those work. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
I doubt I’d be a PA long if I gave out privileged info. :)
the standard real fur for big cats 2 only contains the basic fur and LAMH presets however if you own the Catalyzer it updates via DIM The Real Fur For Big Cats 2 and adds the Catalyzer fur prest option to select from so you have choices of fur for each cat the real fur was one of Alessandro_AM products which like all of his other older animal products with fur were updated to include this option and only his products
@ANGELREAPER1972 can I ask a quick question? How do you get the catalyzer to recognise the files? This thread reminded me I'd picked up Big Cats 2 and Real Fur and not used them yet. I already had the Catalyzer. I've just tried using it by loading up a cat figure with the Catalyzer fur but the product says there isn't a catalyzer product there. There is because I can see the green spiky shell.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
did you select one of the cats from daz big cats 2 or real fur for big cats 2? Cause they are kinda seperate characters though of course you need to have daz big cats 2 installed to use the real fur ones. Know may sound silly too but I've done it myself few times and selected the LAMH versions instead of the Catalyzer versions again down this several times and banged my head against wall virtually, the characters for Catalyzer and LAMH are kinda mixed up in order in the menu easy to select wrong one also I just use the defaults think there is a safe mode if crashing which it does sometimes but so does studio
here's the offical thread for Catalyzer and the creators are active on it last posted a reply August 27th
[Released] LAMH2Iray Catalyzer: 1.6 update available [Commercial]

Thank you @ANGELREAPER1972. I thought I’d selected the catalyzer one but I’ll try it again when I get back on my main machine. Thanks for the tip on using safe mode too because it did close Daz Studio down as I was trying it.
You were right @ANGELREAPER1972, I was selecting the wrong one, lol. Works perfectly now
your welcome Mollytabby like I said I've done it plenty of times myself and some of the other things I done well ;) drives you batty :)
