I read somewhere that the Genesis 2 Starter Essentials had been updated with new IRay shaders. What about other characters? Are there upgrades for V6, etc? Does applying the default IRay shader accomplish same thing? (keeping the textures, of course)

V6 is a G2F character so you can use the updated Iray shader on her and on any Gen-6 character. I used it on a Teen Josie 6 character just yesterday. It works. But you will have to tweak. Just like with any shader.
When you apply th eshader, make sure you ctrl-click it and select the option to ignore the textures -- i.e., have the shader keep your textures in place. So whatever skin texture you have, say Gia's or Neeomi's or whatever, will remain in place. All the shader will do is change how the SSS works and so forth to convert it to Iray.
The Iray shaders for the base figures shouldn't replace maps even if you don't hold down cmd/ctrl - you need to do that only when taking the settings from a material that does include maps.
Super! Thanks for the info.
...what about LIE layers ike tattoos, scars, dirt, freckles & such?
LIE stacks are just images as far as surfaces are concerend.
