Iray Converter for Genesis and Generation 4 Bundle https://www.daz3d.com/iray-converter-for-genesis-and-generation-4-bundle
It converts Generation 4 and Genesis characters to Iray ...
Does it work well?
Is this something that can be done without purchase of this product?
Comments
Its results were underwhelming to me, though better than Iray Uber default converter, but with experimentation (lots for me) it can make some skins look quite special. I personally prefer the skin shader converter found in Genesis 2 Starter Essentials, which, with some increasing of lip roughness comes a lot closer to what I've become accustomed to from Iray skin.
I used it as lot when it first came out, but I have moved on to Genesis 8, so it now lies idle in my runtime. I was happy with the results. There are several optional presets to tweak the results.
Here are renders I did of Aiko 5 skin (Genesis generation) and Rob Elite skin (Generation 4) a long time ago, using this skin converter. They aren't great renders, but you can get a little idea of the results, perhaps.
thanks
I have those, but there are other convedrters that I think produce a more natural result. If I had to buy just one set of skin shaders, then I'd say that, on the basis of a dollar for feature value and ease of use, NGS Anagennesis 2 is the best option for the older products as it covers all generations from V4 up through G8... though I really like the results one gets with Altern8 on G3 and G8.
Genesis 2 skin is so flat and disgusting. It is like painted and brushed. So different from realistic skins of Gen 3 & Gen 8.
