Iray Wood Shaders

How many more glass and metal shaders are going to show up before we get a set of wood shaders? It's not as if wood is a rare find in the real world. It shows up lots in my 3D world too, and I shouldn't still have to be cobbling my own solutions together every time it does. Iray has been around ages now. I don't expect every product to be tailor-made for me, but there'd be a lot more time available for kit-bashing and geometry editing if basic surface materials like wood were available in numbers as well. I'm trying not to sound too grouchy here - I'm sure I'd use another set of ornate glass shaders. Eventually. I just want a versatile set of wood shaders. Please.

    There is a set of Iray furniture shaders at the other place, they have certain wood options. Works fine for me.

    The same guy has a set of wood shaders as well. I use them along with the furniture set.

    Thanks, guys. I'm off to investigate :)

    I believe Mec4D is working on wood shaders, but I do not know when these might arrive. I would like some wood shaders with meta data, as most of the rest of my iray shaders have meta data.

    I've been working on some wood procedural shaders (and other stuff), but at least for detailed close stuff, it's not the best option. (Procedural shaders are more useful if you need to, say, cover a huge set of objects with no obvious patterns/tiling).

    Mec4D's PBS v2 has a few wood shaders that are pretty nice.

    I use Mec4D's wood shaders from PBS v2 all the time and love them, but could use a few more in scenes where there are rooms with a lot of furniture or other wood details.

    What I would like is a tutorial for transfering Poser procedurals over to Studio. (i.e., ParrotDolphin's store over at Rendo is on sale this week)

    The ParrotDolphin iray shaders in the Daz store are outstanding. that said, the wood package that Mec4D is currently working is pretty spectacular. I've been a woodowrker for over thirty years and I could identify almost every species she showed as a demo. The fidelity was amazing.
