LOL!...Medication, therapy, and Iray !

All of Daz3D's contents now come with IRay textures presets. Will these contents be exportable to IClone will all the IRay specific presets? I think I read somewhere that FBX does not yet handle the PBR texture channels, i.e. roughness and metalicity.

I guess the answer to this question is also a big YES, meaning that only Reallusion developers know,  and they won't tell a thing.

I'm thinking that it won't be possible to FBX out a Daz Iray MDL material preset into iclone such that it would then be replicated in iClone Iray.
But I don't know.

I do know this, currently you cannot export out a Daz Iray packaged MDL file, which is what I think we would want. Basically what would be a cool thing would be to have the ability to export a MDL mat package from Daz Iray to iClone Iray, with all the PBR goodness.

We will probably have to tweak mats in iClone, out to iClone-Iray. Or do the tweaking in iClone Iray itself.

But you are right. We know very little as to what it will have.

How long was this up on the site for, don't remember seeing this:

https://www.reallusion.com/character-creator/production.html

Most likely came up today, with the release of that video (which we were all notified of today in various ways).

It's a nice placeholder to keep looking.

I noted that the background HDR this time looked to be identically situated to the iClone version, when side-by-side with the iClone version.  
I liked how they showcased the SSS and the separate Tonemapper features, looks like this Iray iteration will be fun to work with, compared to the 3DS Max one, or the Indigo plugin.
It also references that Iray is a paid plugin.  But 'paid' for us will be free, as we are Premium customers....right KT?....

LOL.  Do you want me to make a prediction?  I'm not so sure I can be as accurate as I normally am, since such things as external shaders are something I have almost zero interest in.

But if I *had* to guess I'd say list around $300, with perhaps a discount to bring it to $230 for the release (limited time, perhaps).  Just a SWAG, of course -- could be off by quite a bit.  But I'm not at all interested so my desire to even talk about it is minimal <g> (I just will never use iClone for stills).

Okay, since you put up a number, I'll put one up too.  I'm looking at Octane for Daz @$199, Iray for 3dsMax is $279 (perpetual use, but with only 1 subscription, which is 1 year of updates and bug fixes...after, must renew 'subscription')
And knowing the history of pricing with Faceware and Indigo, I feel like I'm going to go with the Daz Octane #, and say $199, which is close to your guess.
