  As far as I can see it works in DS 4.24.0.3, but probably not in the latest/last DS4, as 3DL was removed in that version.

  It's a custom 3DL shader, so indeed it won't work at all in versions of DS which don't include 3DL render engine.

  Man, such a cool shader.

  PWGhost and PWToon were, for a long time, the final features that kept me trying 3DL when Iray was otherwise fulfilling what I wanted.

  The pw shaders have always been some of my favorites. I purchased the original DS3 version many years ago and had a lot of fun with them.

  pwSketch was one I really liked but unfortunately it never made the DS4 transition.

  Yep, that's one of the many useful things I bought and effectively lost when the transition was made from DS3 to DS4... something that was especially maddening since there were some vendors who kept promising updates but never followed through, and DAZ had just released the "figure mixer" that I'd used to make a bunch of characters that, again, never made it to DS4.

  I didn't know 3dl was gone. So now I have to be careful not to buy anything that doesn't support Iray.

  3DL render engine is gone, however the code which translates 3DL standard materials for Iray rendering is still there.
  So you should avoid items which use 3DL custom shaders (like pwGhost) or require rendering with 3DL (like the line render plugin), but regular content using the base 3DL shaders supported by automatic conversion will still work as before in Iray.

  Oh goody. And will daz be kind enough to let me know before I buy? I know I can get a refund but the items that I have gotten refunds on keep showing up.
