jarjones Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am working on a theatre with black curtains. If I set the curtains to a solid fill wih no texture, they show up in the picture as shaded objects, but look solid and plastic. I scanned some of the fabric that the curtains are made of (black velour) and turned that into a texture, but no matter how I set the reflectivity, they appear as solid black, which makes them basically vanish in the picture. I have spotlights focused on them, but they still only show up if no texture is applied. Thoughts? [ 01-31-2006, 10:24 AM: Message edited by: Jeff A.R. Jones ] Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Easiest solution is to trick the procedure into creating the Black curtain look without actually using a saturated black color. Afterall, Black is the absence of color ... so add some color like deep violet & red. Then, tweek the lites to add some blue. Think in terms of CMYK pantone mixing. Now getting the Velour to reflect properly ... that's translucent art & science... good luck. Quote Link to comment
Mat Caird Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 and make a bump map of the fabric - add a little roughness....this stops the plasticy look Quote Link to comment
