Carnite's tutorial and the Shader Mixer with DAZ 4.9

How come this tutorial:



​No longer seems to work right? I'm guessing it has to do with something between RSL and MDL, which I *think* are the difference between 3Delight and IRAY?

​When I open up Preview above a box and click in it to do a test render, the screen doesn't update, and it doesn't apply in my aux viewport the way it does in the video.

​I also tried:

​And had the same kind of results. I was following along step by step, but what the presenter was saying and doing wasn't matching up with my experience.

    Is your render engine set to 3Delight?

    No. Nvidia. Is that what I need to do? Set the "draw options" to 3Delight for the aux and main viewport?

    ​So, these tutorials really only teach how to set up 3Delight shaders? Maybe that is where I am confused... when I buy shader packages, they show up in 3Delight, but they also work when I render an image using IRAY... is there some missing component in understanding how to mix a shader that will work in both?

    I'm really doing this to get a better understanding of shaders and how they work... I really have no idea... obviously. :D

    I just know that they seem useful.

    Yes, all the older information you find will most likely be for 3Delight, that's all there was back then.
