Digital Creations has a freebie v4 iray shader http://www.most-digital-creations.com/skinray.htm
V4 (and M4) are just meshes like V5, V6 and V7 so all you need to do is save a general Iray skin shader from one of the newer figures that you can apply to any other figure.
Won't work since they use different maps, jest
If you're talking about a single shader without a texture, then applied to all the skin parts, then this will work, but in my experience many V4/M4 skins used "cheats" that simply get in the way -- blue SSS shades, ambient colors that make them glow in the dark, and worse. With many you need to undo all the Iray layer settings and just start over, using only the bare textures. I'm hoping some intrepid vendor will come up with a good variety of Iray-ready textures for V4 and M4. Adam's work okay, but most of his female look too similar, with too much eyeliner.
Thanks. I am going to check this one out.
An easy way to do it?
Apply Iray Base Shader to your V4/M4 figure.
Set translucency to .2-.5, translucency color to pink, and tweak other values (you can look at an Genesis 2 with Iray Optimized Skin to adjust)
(I've done this with Skin Builder, which mostly uses V4 UV, and it works great)
