Eilir

Eilir is a combinations DAZ|Stript and Java App that generates RSLShader Daz Presets.

Set up is simple: Download the file, unzip it. Place the contents of the Studio folder (content and Eilir folders) into your Studio folder. Open a scene in DAZ. Select an object and a material on the object you want to edit and then launch the "Launch Eilir" Script (found in Scripts\Eilir\ of the content folder).



note: the material(s) selected will be replaced so if it has settings you wish to keep save it before open Eilir.

windows only: 

This will launch a Java app (you need Java 1.5 or higher to run this) that operates very similar to the Poser Material room. Open a couple examples to see how nodes are put together (they are under the examples folder of [DAZ Studio folder]\Eilir\). I have not tested light shaders yet, but surfaces and displacement shaders work. Other kinds of shaders (volume,imager) exist but do not work yet in DAZ|Studio (cross fingers maybe daz will add support of these in 2.0).

Pressing the large preview button on the left applies the created material and generate a preset for it under the directory listed in the box below this button.

General notes: -when developing material use simple objects and light set ups, they render previews quicker.

-if you want to make your own node open up the Node editor under tools. You may be able to figure this out just by opening ones already created.
