Iray Surfaces And What They Mean
I've updated and corrected this article based on DAZ's documentation. You should read that if you want more information. This will continue to be more of a "plain talk" breakdown.
Let us begin with the different types of shaders from the "Base Mixing" dropdown at the top. Choosing one of these will hide or gray out some options and reveal others.
The Iray shader behaves as though it has three layers: The "base" layer, the "metallic flakes" layer on top of that, and the "top coat layer" on top of that. It is possible to turn off the top two layers and not use their settings, but the ability to use them is a property this shader has that

Look at these amazing watercolor pictures! Haven't you guys ever wondered how to paint with watercolors?
Well, all I really know is the basics! Not only will I be showing you my own techniques, but also showing you others that have made tutorials for it.
Supplies! (The Basics)
- These are the watercolors I've been using for about 2 years, and they've been the best. I bet many people are used to seeing the tubes, I personally don't like them, because in a very dry environment, they die easily. I use these, they're the Koh-I-Noor Watercolor Wh

3d Tutorial: A 'Floral' Star Ball Technique
UPDATE: 4/25/2015! I've created a tutorial for this object also using Blender 2.74. This Blender tutorial translates the techniques used in my 3dsmax video, to Blender. The process here is virtually the same, with only some minor differences in workflow and tool function. Be sure you have the Add Mesh: Extra Objects add-on enabled in User Preferences. This tutorial depends on the Math Functions > Solids script in Blender to follow along.
In the followig tutorial, I'll demonstrate an easy method to modeling a floral-style star ball, without any add-ons or plugins. This is an addendum to my previous star ball tutorial, in which we use

[Tutorial] Creating Dust And Atmosphere in Iray
A video version is here.
I learned this method from jag11 on the DAZ3D forums, who is thanked for permission to use it in this tutorial!
In 3Delight there's no way to create atmosphere or godrays (the rays that are visible when light passes through dust or particles). There are products to facilitate (one of them mine), but most are either not the easiest to use or ultimately just a faking of a feature the engine lacks. Many artists use postwork instead.
DAZ Studio 4.8 Beta's new Iray engine also lacks a native mechanism for creating atmospheric volumes - but it can be easily convinced to produce them! They will come from your lights an
