Maybe you know this problem: You like the style of a certain hair, but don't like its textures or the hair colours. Meanwhile, there are some nice looking Iray hair shaders at Daz, but still not much for 3Delight. E.g., I would like to have something like Dimension Theory's 'Style Theory - End Of Summer Hair', which works only with 'End of Summer Hair'. Maybe she/he/they could make a similar product for all hair?

For what it's worth, I've had reasonably good luck using Iray hair products (like UHT/UHT2) and converting them to 3DL.
So long as you aren't doing tiling stuff, it converts pretty readily.
Here's an example:

I like using UberSurface because you can play around with velvet, and you also can set Occlusion: Off and save yourself a lot of render time.
Thank you, Will! Your pic is really convincing. Is it only possible with DS 4.8+? But I need to upgrade to 4.8 anyway. And Dimension Theory's 'Subsurface Workshop - SSS Shaders for Iray' is already in my cart (I was lucky to catch the Flash Sale). This set contains a hair shader!
