I'm going for a kind of woollen turtleneck type of sweater. I'm not sure what the settings on the falloff map should be to simulate wool or else if it needs something else like another layer...

Displacement in Octane 2.0 should bring interesting results for this kind of fabric.

Hi xxdanbrowne,

Good UV mapping there (at least on my iphone screen!). What did you create that in? I agree with Roubal re displacement but even the bumps here look good. Would love to see that in sunlight...

Thanks. The initial base mesh I pulled off of the surface of a pre-existing model (which you can see in the scene). I sculpted it in zbrush and UVd it in UVLayout.

The bump is set at a power of ten and scaled way down.

I think, however, it still looks way too CG so I'm going to experiment with adding a thin layer of very short fibermesh on top and shine it up with a high spec glossy material to see if I can get a wool look...

Thanks for sharing xx (I'm just starting 'UV school' now). Can't wait to see some closeups of that.

Its a little off topic but this is the most awesome fabrics render solution:

Wow. Impressive stuff!! I was actually at Siggraph in 2012, but don't remember seeing this dude. Wonder what it was rendered in.

I love where this industry is going. More and more specialized.

I can't imagine the number of polygons...

These are not polygons, its done by voxelization and anisotropic scattering. Its a volumetric render method. I'm a big fan of the mitsuba guys. They always do stuff the most impressive way.
