    To those people who would like to get a better knowledge about shaders and materials in a Physically Based Rendering engine as Iray, I would like to point 2 free guides from Allegorithmic maker of Substance Designer, Substance Painter, and Bitmap2Material.

    Volume 1: The Theory of Physically Based Rendering focuses on the theory of physically-based rendering and shading.

    Volume 2: Practical Guidelines for PBR Texturing discuss the practical application of authoring PBR textures and provides a set of guidelines that are based on the foundations established in Volume One.

    ??? Looks like allot of other sites that just are not worth the hassle. Are those guides, any where else?

    The guides worth the registration, and the applications are very interesting but they are not to everyone.

    By the way, here is another useful link with good information: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn

    Beautiful render, Slosh!
    Fantastic lighting.

    Slosh, looking pretty good...but somebody has to sit that girl down and explain that that shade of green nail polish and that shade of red lipstick don't mix, unless on a Christmas tree....

    Also, the eyes look a little 'flat'.

    Lol, I went back and forth with those fingernails, changing them about half a dozen times. But, she's a fairy, so.... :) The eyes look good to me, I'm wondering how you might suggest they look less "flat"?

    Excellent pic Slosh!
    Here is my humble offering. The eyes are a bit flat on this one too. Getting the eye surfaces correct is one of the new challenges that we face with the different render engine.

    One of these days, between products, I will devote a couple of days to working on eyes. If I come up with something great, I'll share it here. I got really good eyes on this one, but the settings don't seem to work in other scenes.

    melting... "O" yes agreed, nice renders.

    Good to see all my lighting gurus getting their hands on Iray.
    The future looks ... uhm ... bright.

    Not fully satisfied with this (the eyes, in particular), but for the most part I think it turned out pretty well. Genesis with M4 Elite Jeremy skin; settings based on the G2M Iray defaults. Updated version of an unfinished custom character I did a while back.

    8eos8, incredible. Is questionable as it sounds, I'm seeing less plastic, and more skin. The eyes are realy nice as well.

    Haha, thanks :) There were some tips for getting good eye reflections that were posted a few pages back - use the thin water material for cornea, eye reflection, and tear surfaces, set the cornea refraction index to 1.38, and under shaping max out the cornea bulge to 1. I've been sticking with the V6 HD skin with the AoA SSS shader because I haven't been getting good results with the Iray one, it looks too plasticky to me.

    My first Iray, super simple. Some shader work others don't work.

    It looks to me as if there is no specular on the 'whites'....the irises and pupils are fine, but they just die off into a pinkish whiteness. Almost as if the the IOR was 1.

    That is a pretty fantastic first try, Sgreco1970.
    Love how the lights play off all the different materials.

    Thanks! The floor texture just blows my mind. I still can't seem to get very bright results with lighting yet tho. Still learning this Iray stuff.

ISO400 is for indoors in photography, ISO100 is used outside more often. It's in the render tab, under "Tone Mapping". Or crank the lights way, way up.

    note what photographers use, lots of lumens.

    Crush blacks, the higher the number, the brighter the crushing to black begins at.

    Nice render and your character is quite the hottie!

    My first complex scene rendered with Iray lights and shaders. I am still learning how to use Iray at its full potential. I am particularly pleased with the glasses and the beer in the glass on the bar.

    Still much to learn I guess.

    Be mindful of the f/stop and shutter speed too. If you were to use ISO 400, f/2.8, and 1/60 you'd have one hell of a blown out bright image.

    f/stop (aperture) is for depth of field and the amount of light getting through to the lens, focal length is just the length of the lens (wide angle, or telephoto), and shutter speed is the length of time the shutter is open (how long the lens is subject to the incoming light). Check my longer post in the beta thread.

    I used another tip found in these forums for placing the objects and hdri in the desired location.

    After the objects are in the scene and a hdri is loaded to the environment setting open up the "aux viewpoint" tab and change the "drawstyle" to "nvidia iray", this gives a preview of the render. Then using the preview it took only a few minutes of rotating the dome, moving the camera and objects to get scene ready for the actual render.

    Here is my humble offering. The eyes are a bit flat on this one too. Getting the eye surfaces correct is one of the new challenges that we face with the different render engine.
    Eye surfaces are, in a PBR simple. Eye Reflection, which is a simulation of the thin water surface on the eye, and tear use the thin water preset. The Cornea, start with the thin water preset and set the refraction to 1.37-1.38. Everything else, like the real world, is light placement. :)

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/54058/P60/#785374f/stop is for both. Since 3Delight is not physically based but does have depth of field, it is in two components. The f/stop on the camera is for depth of field. The one on the tone mapper is for light. For a real camera set them the same, but it is not enforced. ;)
