How's Planet X-2 and HDRI look in 3Delight?

The product page says it's for iray, but has anyone tried it in 3Dl?

    I just got it, going to try tonight. *crossing fingers*

    Looking forward to seeing some 3Delight renders, too. Thanks.

    I'm hoping it'll work. I didn't realize it was for Iray when I got it. I was too busy oggling the pictures. If it shows up anything like Dry Mud Desert: http://www.daz3d.com/dry-mud-desert , it should look pretty good. I rendered that one last night in 3Delight. Took a while but looked amazing.

    I'll post whatever I end up with! LOL

    Here you go... default shader, default camera, no conversions. I added a single distant light to illuminate the scene.

    For comparision, this is the same scene, just rendered in Iray. The character is using 3DL shaders, so no conversions there.

    Thanks, Bee.

    Sadly, that's what I got too in 3Delight. I used the same lighting in both the Planetx2 and the Dry Mud Desert renders.

    There is a Planet X1 that does NOT say it's for Iray, that's probably the one to use in 3Delight: http://www.daz3d.com/planet-x-1

    If you can live without the planets in the sky and less spiky mountains, the Dry Mud Desert looks great in 3Delight (though my lighting and figure need tweaking.)

    Dry Desert is a great set, and Planet X1 is, indeed, for 3DL.

    It would probably be possible to simply kitbash something in regards to the sky, but the real problem is that the X2 landscape doesn't translate in a usable format without some extra work.

    And planet x-1 doesn't have that cool sky, either. I get that Iray is the new toy, but 3DL is still supported by Daz. I wish more vendors considered that when making environments.

    Me too. I would've bought the i13 Neighborhood Bar today, but it's also Iray only. I've made that mistake on a couple of items now, and it's frustrating. I try to make sure I'm not getting Iray stuff, but I missed it with this one. I can't wait to use it, but I'm not ready to jump to Iray yet (mostly financial- maybe I need to stop spending so much in the DAZ store, LOL!) So I'm hobbling along on my "good enough" computer until I can afford to build something nice (and well-researched!) I did pick up Planet X-1 at a good price and will see what I can do with that. I like the X2 sky too! I'm hoping I can get that look with something I already have. I'll post if I come across anything!
