hans@mnpro.no Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 How do I create a velvet material in Renderworks? I've seen some realistically looking examples made with Cinema 4D. Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Andy Broomell Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2020 Obviously the shaders in Vectorworks are a bit more limited than in Cinema4D, but using a simple Fresnel color shader should get you pretty close. Here's one that I made that you can play around with. VelvetTexture_AEB_v2020.vwx I have a bit of Noise in the Bump shader too. You could add some Reflectivity for further effects. I keep this texture in my Favorites library and just switch out the Fresnel colors depending on the specific velvet being used in the project. 7 2 Quote Link to comment
Guest Selin Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Vectorworks has a built in Cloth shader under Reflectivity>Cloth. This shader is based on Cinema4D's Irawan(Cloth) shader model. Cloth presets define the weave pattern of certain fabrics, and you can fine tune the irregularities, shine properties of the cloth to get a velvet look. You can also add a Noise shader on top to get an overall rough feeling, and/or an Image shader for a pattern. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
