Updated IRay Shaders for Genesis 2 Characters?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I read in one of the posts that the shaders in the Genesis 2 Essentials has been updated for IRay so I reinstalled those.  Have the other base characters (V6, M6, Aiko6 etc) also been updated or does the Essentials update handle those?  Or should I just apply the default IRay shader (keeping textures intact, of course)?

    The new preset can be applied to any character for that figure - it won't replace textures, it just converts the sahder and applies settings. So use it on V6, or M6, or whatever and it shold at least give a good starting point.

    Not exactly "updated for Iray", but there is now an "Iray Optimised" version of the Uber Base shader converter set up for G2F/G2M. Look in the Materials subfolder for the G2F and G2M figures. As well as converting to proper Iray shaders, it also sets up SSS for skin, extra glossiness for finger/toenails and inside the mouth, water settings on the eyes, etc. I don't know why there's only these shaders for Genesis2, we could really do with the same thing for Genesis, and maybe older figures as well.

    Ok - let me install the download and I'll look for the new shaders.  I'll be back if I have any questions.  Thanks!

    All is good.  I played around with Giselle 6 and her default SSS shaders aren't nearly as pretty as the IRay default shader.
