Bad news and good news. After updating my version of DAZ Studio, I came to the realization that 3Delight is no longer supported, which is what LittleDragon/CharleyFox's Krystal model was optimized for, and what I've been using to for all my Krystal renders. While it works fine in Iray, it requires a lot of re-optimization to look decent.
The good news is that I had already been in the process of fully re-optimizing Krystal's materials for use with the Iray engine! The result (I feel) is absolutely gorgeous level of borderline photorealism!
And just for fun, I made this absolutely massive 2K "sample" render. lol
Attributions: Base model created by CharleyFox - Adapted for DAZ3D by LittleDragon - Personal customizations include: --- Reshaping of the face and legs using D-Form morphs, as well as rescaling of body proportions. --- Modifications to the base textures, specifically around the eyes, navel, and feet. --- Updated base textures to create new ones for my original characters. --- Displacement map for the navel and sole wrinkles. --- Custom eye colors. --- Custom fingernail/toenail paint. --- Converted all texture material zones to use Iray shaders.
