Only Iray :-(

Hi,
i notice that more and more good content is made only for Iray.
Please don't forget 3DL !!!!!
Not every graphic card is able to show / preview large scenes in Iray in an acceptable time!
The preview sometimes needs minutes to show a scene. Others and me do not want to render all in Iray.
Some renders in 3DL are very very very good too and not all material is easyly transferrable to Iray.
Alternative: please make a shader to remove all iray-materials!
Thanks

Try applying your preferred 3Delight shader - such as uberSurface - it should preserve maps if it is a recent preset, some older presets you may need to hold down ctrl(Win)/cmd(Mac) while double-clicking and in the dialogue set ignore for Maps. With luck that will at least give you a starting point.
What's funny is that some Iray content easily works in 3DL and actually, IMO, works even better.
Iray Superworlds, for example -- there are 12000x3000 images in it that, in Iray, can be finicky and get over compressed. Converted to UberSurface(2) and turned into a regular skydome and environment? It looks AWESOME.
So hey.
Every Iray material I tried in 3Delight looked grey, and nothing else but grey.
Today Luthbel released a wonderful looking set, 'Wise Sentai', which is Iray only. If the vendors who do this are willing to buy me a Nvidia ready Mac (NO PC!), I'll be willing to buy their products...
Caravelle, did you mean "Wise Sensei"?
Just to disambiguate, this is sentai:

and this is a wise sensei:
but yeah I see what you mean :)
