Really old products made new with Iray!

The PC sale brought me back to when I first started playing with Poser and Daz products. With the BYOB sale, I started looking at all the old content and tried to see what would autofit. I had the Mediterrannean Dress for V3 and S3 and was considering textures for it but could not get it to autofit well on Genesis to move up the line. If someone has a trick, please let me know... But I thought, why not try it on old V3 with IRay and although this needs a little postwork, I was amazed how well she could still look (although I don't have many textures for her.) She has a lot of different morphs to play with like different nationalities for the head. So here is my test of V3 in V3 clothes IRayed with current shaders. I played with a lot of morphs on the dress and tried to give it a billowy look like it was floating in the wind. Not sure if it was successful but I kinda like it...
If anyone else would like to post old stuff made new, please do!

The old 'Jungle Queen Safari Boat' scrubs up reasonably well with new textures, a pity it's been retired:
I've been experimenting a lot with older stuff, here's some examples:
G3F has a V3 option in the Autofit dialog, works quite well with the V3 Mediterranean dress. Select Victoria 3 and Dresses/Knee Length in the Autofit dialog, then apply a Smoothing Modifier to the dress, select Generic as Smoothing Type and adjust the number of iterations to your liking. I've used 50 here. Collision Iterations are set to 1, it seems to work and is faster.
Really old products made new with Iray!...
... and/or good 3Delight shaders and lights!
The option to fit clothes made for V3 (and other generation 3 shapes) to G3F comes with this product: https://www.daz3d.com/wear-them-all-autofit-clones-expansion-for-genesis-3-male-s-and-genesis-3-female-s
That looks really good, @Wonderland - I wouldn't have realised that was the old V3 figure unless you'd said it!
Victoria 4, Michael 4, Night World Fallen characters.
Michael 4 and Victoria 4 clothing.
Oh, thought it was a DS feature (I do have this product I can see).
She looks great, Wonderland. And nDelphi- those Knights look terrific.
I love seeing these older products brought up to date!

Great render Wonderland!.... V3 never looked better
The older items "up-graded" to iray look fantastic.
Is it mostly a matter of applying iray shaders from a stand alone pack, or is more involved?
It depends. For my Olympia Cityscape renders, a Poser only product, I took the textures to Photoshop and reworked them to look more like real-world cement & marble and then did a lot of trial and error with the Iray shader. These were the very first photo-real renders I did when Iray was introduced in DAZ Studio.
I have that and totally forgot! I did not not have luck putting it on Genesis but I’ll try with G3 with your tips. Thanks!
I used separate IRay shaders for everything but the hat but found that many textures hold up if you just add IRay to them.
It looks great. I picked up a lot of older stuff during the sale. I think I literally have to wait for my PC+ to expire so I can get to work, that way I'm not preoccupied with checking for sales 2-3 times a day.
This was a test with old SP3 clothes I already had on G8 because I was debating getting some older clothes for her, but waited too long and the sale ended literally as I was checking out with a big cart... Hopefully they’ll have another sale with this stuff and not retire it. The original textures on this were fine iRayed but boring so I added some new shaders... I think the pants are the original textures with the color slightly changed. There are a few wrinkles but that can easily be corrected in Photoshop.
Here are some oldies made new with Iray and dForce. The kimono is an old dynamic cloth for M3 by Hiyasan. I downloaded this, and a load of other beautiful Japanese DC freebies, years ago, thinking that I might get Poser some day. It worked okay with dForce. I applied a shader by Destiny's Garden to the top and used Design Anvil's cloth converter on the Hakama.
The character is M3, technicallly Brom by CDI, with a free texture (Hong for M3 by Panko) applied upon which I used Anagenessis. The hair is Samural hair for M3 with Slosh hair shaders applied.
The setting is Iyeyasu's Shrine, which I converted with a shader product from Rendo called Convert It!
