Nope. That's not my browser. It works fine everywhere else. It's the forum code.
You just gotta laugh...
Very nice and great idea! Many thanks for sharing!
Your Zombie Girl look is more than likely caused by the normal map. It's really unfortunate that in 3Delight there is no way to turn down the strength of the maps like you can in iRAY. That's why when I'm making characters for both rendering engines I make a Displacement map which give you more control but be careful with those since they can pop out the skin too much when rendering causing poke throughs with outer layered clothing. The -min and +pos numeric inputs are your friends when setting up the displacement, not just the strength control slider!
On the plus side, bump and microdisplacement is so good in 3DL that you don't need Normals nearly as much as in Iray.
True dat but it would be nice to have 3Delight updated to allow for slider strength control
...
Can try to remove the Map from Surface table. In this way can work.
Commenting so I don't have to go search for this later! I'm so interested in this! I have a house (https://www.daz3d.com/collective3d-long-island-mansion) that only has Iray presets and makes my renders take forever! 3Delight seems to be faster for my machine, but since this house is my main room for a number of images I'm making, I'm wondering if I'm making my computer work too hard to render an iray asset to 3dleight, along with AAAALLLL of my other assets in the scene. It's a big scene!
how do i install these files please ?
Make sure to click on the star at the top of the page and you will be able to find it in your forum bookmarks also if you put in the time to convert to 3Dl make sure to either save as a scene subset then you don't have to do it again I usually save to the same folder that the Iray item came from
I know I'm late to the party but wow this script is amazing!
I've been using 3Delight shaders to convert Iray prop meshes material textures from Iray to 3Delight by flipping the various surface slots in DAZ Studio which means a lot of work replacing the diffuse and other textures.. It worked a treat but man, this .dsa DAZ Studio script does it in one go and retains the textures, diffuse, bumps, specular and normal maps etc.. I think I've died and gone to Heaven.. Fantastic work by Esemwy and timmins.william this is going to save me a bunch of work..
Thank you guys really is top work.. DAZ 3D should impliment this script as a default for DAZ Studio to go with their Iray uber base script..
Knocked out by this.. Thanks again, you guys rock!!

Just read Oso3D'ss post about the cutout Opacity (Alpha) maps, bummer, no problem I'll have to add them manually.. I have to save the 3Delight converted Material presets anyways so its no bigggy.. Still an amazing and very useful script
I think you misunderstood!
Just converting normally, you lose opacity maps.
But with this script you don’t.
Okay, I feel REALLY dumb asking this but how do you use it? I've got the three files together and can find their folder in my content library pane. One file shows up labeled "IrayTo#Delight" with the image for it being a "!" in a triangle with a frame around it. Clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything. What am I missing?
Hello Guys,
I just tried the script, but Metallic parts remain dielectric, no 'metalness' added for the metal parts in 3delight. Is it normal?
I think I'm doing something wrong ... I can't seem to get it to do anything.
Okay so you've got the script installed ,you have selected the item you want to convert in the scene tab and in the surface tab ,and then you click on the script to run it ........yes? now check surface tab does it look different ?
Not sure anyone is still watching this thread to answer questions... For the script to work you MUST SELECT THE ITEM YOU WANT TO CONVERT. If you don't select anything it doesn't work. I have also been able to select multiple items and convert them all at once... I just make sure I select everything I want converted in the SCENE TAB AND SURFACE TAB selected...then click the Irayto3Delight icon.
There WILL be some fiddling... especially for characters... The EYE MOISTURE and CORNEA will need their Opacity turned off... for one... But in general I find with PROPs no fiddling is needed.
Hope this helps. ENJOY!
You may need to select every item, even if they are all ticked (check marks), by using your mouse to highlight all the items in the dialogue pane, and then try to convert them.
Different in what way?
Hmmm have you ever really looked at the surface tab when you've got an IRay item selected? It's totally different from the 3DL materials ..........
okay above is 3DL here IRay see the differences
Oh and even though this hair comes with 3DL material settings I just ran the script to take it from the IRay to 3DL ,you still sometimes have to poke with the settings ,like bump is usually way too strong but still worth it
I do, thanks ... so the answer is no ... nothing is changing after I tell the script to run ... I don't see anything happening or changing.
Hmmmm so what version of DS are you using ?and where did you put the script?
I'm one of those. Until I can get this script to work, I only buy items with 3DL options.
Same here. I couldn't use IRay even if I wanted too. My computer isn't designed for it.
It's in the daz scripts section along with my other scripts. And I FINALLY had to concede and start using DS4.10 because I wanted to use dforce. No other reason, lol. I hate anything above V4/M4 and have absolutely no interest in iray. So they hooked me with dfore, lol. And I was hoping this script would be my key to all those products I won't buy because there is no 3DL option.
<--only uses 3Delight too... Iray takes too long on my computer.... besides.. I bought a boatload of lights-n-stuff... too much money spent to just throw it all way or not use. chaaa chiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!
Willow... I hope this helps... I'm posting you screenshots of where I have the converter... I had to make a folder for the 3 items to be in first... You can put them anywhere in your Daz library... Hope it helps... Main thing is to make a folder for the 3 things to go in... (see sample)
2nd.. you know the converter is working when you highlight the item then look at the SHADER at the top of the edit page... (see sample)
Hope this all makes sense to you. (fingers crossed)
I created a custom action, which is a cool faster way to use a couple of daz's contents ... but then I moved the script into its own folder and did it again, and now I have two ... how do I remove one of them from the scripts tool tab?
Had the same qustion and got the answer too

you can also organise the scripts there too
Thanks, carrie58 :)
