I am trying to work alittle with IRAY. The images below are FCII- 01 with IRAY Uber environment and brick shader that comes as part of Daz Studio. I have included all my setting as well as a finished render. So, what am I doing wrong?

    The brick shader is a 3Delight shader mixer network, won't work in IRay.

    They should be tagged, under the Shader at top-right of the thumbnail, either MDL or RSL. I suspect that is an RSL (used by 3Delight - Renderman Shader Language) rather than an MDL (used by Iray - Material Description Language) shader. DS will convert the default 3Delight shaders to Iray, but it can't do anything with custom sahders like this.

    Not a custom shader. As I said in the original post, It is the shader that came as a part of daz studio. I did make a mistake. it was not the FCII-Ground 01 I posted a screenshot of the actual groud I used. not sure where it came from.

     

    I did go back and redo from scratch with the same results. also, The Iray shaders worked with the original settings but I was pretty sure they are not Iray. how do I get back to MDL?

    I din't mean custom as in one you had made, I meant custom as in not one of the standard - in this case, if you look at top-left of the Surfaces pane, it says the Current Shader is "Brick". However, you haven't posted a render - have you tried doing one? The cutom Iray sahders won't show in Texture Shaded preview.

    You are trying to use shaders and uber lights that are specific for 3DL with iray.  They wont work. Simple as that.

    Iray uses the built in environment dome to light the scene.

    Don't use any of the old uber environment lights with Iray.

    Yes I did post the render. It is the 4th final pic.

    Oops, so you did. My apologies.
