How can I install - use Technophilia Retro Gynoids V1,V2 and How can I recolor the textures with

 Iray, Advanced Metal Shaders, Real Metals for Daz Studio or Reality 4.3  - DAZ Studio Edition and Reflective Radiance for 3Delight.

I've been bringing a lot of older stuff into Iray on my art thread here. Check the last few pages for notes on how that's going with Victoria 3. I just checked, and I do have Gynoids. I've been wanting to play with those. May try them in Iray this weekend.

Looks like they are for Victoria 4. Try loading the textures onto her and rendering to see how bad it looks. Then apply the default Uber base shader. Sometimes that's all it needs. Other items need to be totally reshaded. There are many great shaders out there. For the metals. I highly recommend Mec4D's PBS Shaders. Volume 1 has a ton of them, Volume 2 is more varied. 

EDIT: You could try Anagenessis Shaders, they work well on Generation 4 figures, but I'm not sure how they will make the metal look.

I do not have it but it looks like  it was made for poser.  I guess it will not have smart content but be found in the poser directory.

I no longer have iRay running computer so I do not know how to convert to iRay at the moment.

Many thanks Llynara. Very useful, but I can not see all the files inside the Poser Format in the Content Library. It's as if the files did not exist. By clicking on the icon it will open a window repeating that it was not found in the H: drive. But my computer only has up to drive D :. Do you have any idea how I can get out of this?

Thank you very much Miss Bad Wolf. Do know  how can I recolor with Advanced Metal Shaders, Real Metals for Daz Studio and Reality 4.3  - DAZ Studio Edition.

Llynara your method did not work. Look at the result.

The body I was able to use the shader. But, trying the same on the props that make up the helmet did not change anything.

To change the surface/shader select the helmet in your 'scene' tab...then with the helemt selected open the 'surfaces' tab and expand the helmet to show all the different surfaces that the helmet has.

Select any of the surfaces and then go to your 'content' tab and locate the Iray Shader you want to use and simply double click it and it will apply the shader to the surface or surfaces you have selected.

The trick is that you have to select the figure or prop in the scene tab and with it selected open the surface tab and select the surface you want to apply the Iray Shader to before applying the shader. Iray works a little different than simply applying a mat to a figure and prop, you have to select the surface to apply the shader to in the surfaces tab for it to work properly. 

You can also select multiple surfaces at once by holding the Ctrl key while you select them and apple one shader to multiple surfaces on a model at once.

 

Really hope this helps

Thank you Margtho33, I forgot about the wonderful stuff Traveler made for V4! Time to play with these rediscovered jewels!!

Llynara, You give the best idea in a long time so I try again. First I reinstalled Daz Studio 4.9 64 bits and this time it worked. I still need  some more adjustments and I believe I can make the body and helmet colors match. I'll try to use Genesis Shaders Bot. So what you think

I added an Inception8 necklace in the background. It was faster to test on him than we did on Traveler's helmet.

Helps a Lot. I figure this out after shader the red glass too. So I chose only the metalic ones. And do the same with the Freebie Collar by Inception8 as you can see in the scene.
