Ultrumarine-ocean - 3dl?

I've owned this product for a while and never used it.  Now I have a need for it and discovered it's one of those things that uses UberEnv.  Also some volumetric stuff, etc. Is there a way to convert it to iray and have it still look the same?  I need the same look it has now, but prefer iray since the stuff I'm using it for is all iray.

TIA for anyone who can help...even Marshian if he/she is around the forums at all.  I PM'd him, will have to see. Otherwise, maybe you gurus can help?

    You could try it and see what you get. I don't have that one since I have never used 3DL, but here is the Iray version https://www.daz3d.com/aguja-undersea-environment keep in mind that it uses lots of the same biased lighting techniques the 3DL version does instead of true caustics. There is also this one https://www.daz3d.com/laguna-underwater-lights-for-iray that isn't to bad either, but in my experience none create a perfect Iray PBR underwater scenario where the acyual light shines thru the water creating true caustics

    I love the Undersea Environment, but it's not something I can afford. I looked at the Laguna Lights too. Just straight up conversion as you know, doesn't work.

    Thanks though, they are great packs.  wishlisted!!

    I recently picked up the Aguja underwater environment, and it's frankly the best underwater resource I've ever used.

    Three thumbs up, seriously.

    (Though I also just grabbed Gardens of Poseidon for more props)

    Ditto. And it is by the same artist as UltruMarine-Ocean.

    Hahaha, I hadn't noticed, nice. I'm a huge fan of Marshian, he really extends the functionality of 3DL and Iray in a bunch of ways.

    You got the Underwater Environment, or the Undersea Environment?  The Underwater one isn't in his store anymore.  Only the Undersea is.  I'm also a huge fan.  The underwater effects are really awesome.  As soon as I have money I put it on the Wishlist.  Dang it, should have picked up Poseidon props too.

    LOL, I was gonna flip out!  I wanted the Underwater but perhaps some of it and another product were combined and name changed.  Dunno. But can't wait to get mine!!!
