CREATING FABRIC TENTS


Recommended Posts

I am looking for advice on how to create draping fabric like tent structures(custom Tent Swags) for events.

 

I am pretty well versed in VW but have never done fabrics for interior tents- 

Any advice on how to create something similar would greatly be appreciated.

Mac,

 

  Past the Soft goods tool I have gotten some good results with the loft tool

 

 

 

And subdivision tool

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps

One option is to just use a texture.  Depending on what you need to show, a texture with an image-based bump shader is a really easy way to simulate an organic texture.  The bump shader allows the texture to respond to light accordingly.

 

The loft is a little like a multiple extrude, , but you connect 3D spline curves instead of planar profiles.

Subdivisions take a little more time to model, but allow for very organic shapes.
