I was considering purchasing this product: http://www.daz3d.com/design-tool-box-bundle
I am rendering in 3Delight with AOA lights. The product states "DAZ Studio Material Presets" so I'm assuming this is optimized for an older version of Daz before 3Delight?
With products such as this, will they look good rendered in 3Delight? I'm trying to avoid having to mess with a bunch of shader settings, etc.
Thanks for any clarification with this.

"DAZ Studio Material Settings", i.e. in such an old product, is always 3Delight materials. Only newer products would have Iray materials, and then they labelled are as Iray materials.
So, this product gives you materials optimized for 3Delight rendering.
That's great news. Thought it would be good ask before purchasing products. Thanks again.
There were no Daz Studio versions before 3Delight, it has been built in since Daz Studio 1.0 officially and before that it was the built in software renderer during Beta testing. Most of the time on older products when Daz Studio Materials were listed it was as opposed to Poser Materials. Poser MAT files work in Daz Studio as long as they were texture map based, though they took a lot of adjustments to look right. So vendors producing products with Daz Studio Materials were a godsend as it meant less work on the users part in adjusting all the surface settings to work with 3Delight.
