Looking for the Best IRay Cathedral Exterior and Interior

Archard's Ossuary

and The Church Bundle

are on my radar. Sadly none of those comes with the IRay mats. It occurs to me that the Aslan Court 3 Product from Jack T already has a nice IRay addon so that leaeves me most pressed for an exterior with Iray support.

I think your best bet would be puying Mech4D iRay texture shader preset product(s) and using those or at least copying the iRay settings (not the actual textures & maps) for the most similar set in the Mech4D product to those products you site.

Also, I've found that for somethings like most stone facades the the Uberiray converter that comes standard with DAZ Studio 4.9 works fine.

The biggest thing that will effect the quality of your render is whether the textures on th models will look blurred or not at the highest iRay render resolutions.

Way ahead of you, Buddy. I have almost all of Mech4D's iRay shaders. Love those.

For a cathedral interior Sacrament is probably one of the nicest. You can always tweak it for iray.    No exterior though

If you don't need the entire exterior...something like this could be used.

Actaully, that does look amazing! Maybe Jack will do the ole IRay update on this at some point.

FirstBastion, you don't have any churches hiding anywhere?

That's one thing I haven't tried to make yet.  I'm not sure how much of a demand there would be for those.  And since Jack already made the quintessential catherdral,  I don't mind buying excellent set made by others and mentioning them when possible.

You may have a point there. I was thinking in terms of the complete world direction that you seem to be going in. Things like the roads and neighborhoods, the mall etc. Of course I don't have to sit there and labor for weeks for each of those you release. :)

Have you any thought of doing IRay addon's for any of your slightly older things like the Gas Station? I love that set and would certianly not hesitate to pay for an IRay Addon. I get virutally everyone of those IRay Addon's Jack T comes out with.
