Iray textures for older products

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen more Iray texture sets for older products now that 3delight is gone. For example the old daz dinosaurs that are still being put into sales. Seems like a no-brainer from a business standpoint.

    Can't you just apply Iray Uber shader and adjust as needed?

    Why is it everytime I come to the product suggestion thread and make a suggestion, people respond as if I need help? Of course you can tweak the old textures. New and better pbr textures could be made as well though. If I was looking for help I'd ask for it in the appropriate place.

    I think it was a question - whata re you wanting that would not be covered by the auto-conversion? It certaiinly would not be realistic to expect a full rework with additional maps unless someone did a full new product, at new product price rather than deep back-catalogue price.

    In general asking for clarifiication or suggesting alternatives is perfectly legitimate as a reply - few, if any, suggestions/requests are likely to be met entirely.

    Because by the nature of the 3D softwares(in general, not just Daz), an expresion of a product desire/suggestion is more often than not interpreted as 'i want to achieve this'. And lots of times the goal can be achieved, maybe in different degrees, but without requiring a new product.

    People here by nature will try to help others achieve a goal. If it is for 'free' or already 'exists', even better.

    What people are telling you is those textures could be made by you. What people are saying is this isn't going to happen for free. Do you really think the PAs should be on the hook for updating something they released 10+ years ago for free?
