Andrew Mac Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment

JBenghiat Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 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. -Josh Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Although it doesn't allow for much edibility, you can find a few curtains and swags in the SketchUp 3D Warehouse. I've attached a VWX file of a few I've collected recently. Here's a screenshot: Curtains_AEB.vwx 2 Quote Link to comment
